The women recorded their experiences, focusing on gender relations, racialized practices, and socialist internationalism. The travelogues reveal varying levels of gender-based solidarity and engagement with local women's lives, reflecting the authors' roles as wives, mothers, and professionals. The authors' accounts highlight the complexities of socialist internationalism, the persistence of colonial legacies, and the challenges of rewriting preexisting scripts of whiteness and Eurocentrism. The article emphasizes the need to recognize the emancipatory potential of developing alternative languages and relational patterns, despite the enduring presence of othering and racialized practices in the travelogues. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of World History is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
