Casper Jacobsen

Tourism and Indigenous Heritage in Latin America (eBook, PDF)

As Observed through Mexico's Magical Village Cuetzalan

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The book assesses current multiculturalist policies in Mexico and how they affect local indigenous populations. The book examines a state tourist initiative of "Magical Villages" where tourists can have special experiences linked to ideas of indigeneity, tradition and heritage. The argument is that this policy acts as a way to contain, constrain and regulate indigenous peoples and their imagined "cultures", in line with existing policies of indigenismo in Mexico. The book explores the mechanisms by which local elites and tourist visitors get empowered, while local indigenous people get disempowered or at least channelled into certain kinds of activities.
