It is hard to imagine tourism without the creative use of seductive, as
well as restrictive, imaginaries about peoples and places. These
socially shared assemblages are collaboratively produced and consumed by
a diverse range of actors around the globe. As a nexus of social
practices through which individuals and groups establish places and
peoples as credible objects of tourism, “tourism imaginaries” have yet
to be fully explored. Presenting innovative conceptual approaches, this
volume advances ethnographic research methods and critical scholarship
regarding tourism and the imaginaries that drive it. The various authors
contribute methodologically as well as conceptually to anthropology’s
grasp of the images, forces, and encounters of the contemporary world.


EXTRA
Editors Noel Salazar and Nelson H. H. Graburn give a glimpse into their
work with the volume, their histories with the topic, and where they
themselves like to “play tourist.”
