Around the world, visitors are drawn to visit murals painted on walls that express something about the politics, heritage and identity of the locations being visited. In some cases, murals created for political purposes become a point of interest for visitors; in others, murals have been painted to stimulate local economic development through tourism. This book focuses on murals painted at sites of conflict that are part of peace processes, with increasingly significant importance for tourism. In this interdisciplinary and highly international volume, the diverse messaging of murals, their production, interpretation, marketing and - in some cases - destruction is explored.
Jonathan Skinner is Reader in Social Anthropology in the Department of Life Sciences, University of Roehampton, UK. Lee Jolliffe is Professor of Hospitality and Tourism in the Faculty of Business at the University of New Brunswick, Canada.
