Postcolonial Tourism

Literature, Culture, and Environment

Beschreibung

This book examines representations of tourism in relation to some of the most charged areas of postcolonial debate, including ecology, globalization, neoliberal development, and indigenous rights. It argues that postcolonial writers not only dramatize the industry's most exploitative operations but also provide blueprints toward sustainable tourism futures.
