Description
Summary:	In his fin-de-siècle Morocco travelogue Mogreb-el-Acksa, Robert Cunninghame Graham refused and traversed Orientalist literary discourse. This essay explains how remarkable this refusal and traversal was, given Cunninghame Graham's print culture context and the pressures and pleasures of Orientalist discourse. Most important, the essay distinguishes Cunninghame Graham from his literary peers, especially his friend Joseph Conrad.
