Produktbeschreibung

In recent years, informal urban settlements have increasingly been visited as sites of touristic exploration in many large cities of the Global South. By applying different methodologies the book offers a multi-layered analysis of the cultural encounters that take place between slum tourists and former street children, who work as tour guides for a local NGO in Delhi. Post-Humanitarian Slum Tourism enriches the debate by interpreting tourist performances as affective economies, identifying tour guides as emotional labourers and raising questions on the long term impacts of these economically uneven encounters with representatives of the Global North, including the researcher.
