In a programme recorded at the Birmingham Readers' and Writers' Festival, Humphrey Carpenter examines ways of writing about other cultures, from pieces in glossy magazines to the academic tome.

Dea Birkett , whose Serpent in Paradise tells of her travels to Pitcairn Island, and Harrie Ritchie , author of The
Last Pink Bits, a journey through what remains of the British Empire. Producer Erika Wright
