| Sumario: | The article discusses the travelogues of Hungarian women who visited African countries in the 1960s-80s as part of state-socialist mobility programs. 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.
