"Appearances: Being Notes of Travel" by G. Lowes Dickinson is a travelogue written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on Dickinson's observations and experiences during his travels through Eastern countries such as India and China, as well as his contrasting views on Western civilization. It seeks to explore cultural themes and the interactions between Eastern and Western societies, highlighting the author's contemplation on identity, colonialism, and the nature of civilization. The opening of the book introduces the author's philosophy on travel as a means of understanding different cultures. Dickinson expresses a candid awareness of the "system" that governs the actions and beliefs of English expatriates in India, revealing a critical stance towards the rigidity of colonial social structures. He observes interactions between his traveling companions and local populations, discussing the nature of English identity as perceived both by the English themselves and their foreign counterparts. By establishing a dialogue about culture, identity, and societal norms, Dickinson sets the tone for a thoughtful exploration of the profound differences he encounters in his travels.
