Tourism and nature: Visual perception and touristed landscapes; contested environments: tourism, indigeneity, and ideologies of development; tourism, desecration, and sacred land -- Part II. Tourism and culture: Touristification and cultural sustainability; tourism and reindigenization -- Part III. Sex, tourism, and embodied experience: Sex tourism, beach ecology, and compound disaster; gendered islands, tourism, and prostitution discourse -- Conclusion: storytelling, postcapitalism, and interdisciplinarity. Carrigan here examines the aesthetic portrayal of tourism in postcolonial literatures. Looking at the cultural and ecological effects of mass tourism development in states that are still grappling with the legacies of 'western' colonialism, he argues that postcolonial writers provide blueprints toward sustainable tourism futures |
