Subject: Book available for review
Dear Colleagues,
I have a copy of "Thinking Through Tourism", ASA Monograph No. 46, edited by Julie Scott and Tom Selwyn, available for review for the Hospitality & Society Journal. We are looking for a professional but critical review, about 800 words long, that discusses the book and its contribution to various fields. We would like the review by November. Details of the book are below and I have also included a link to the journal:
"The study of tourism has made key contributions to the study of anthropology. This volume defines the current state of the anthropology of tourism, examining political, economic, ideological and symbolic themes.
An extraordinarily rich collection of case studies illustrate topics as diverse as hospitality, sex and tourism, enchantment, colonial and neo-colonial consumption, and the relation between tourism and gender and ethnic boundaries, as well as questions of global, economic and cultural systems, modernism and nationalism. The book also covers practical and policy issues relating to urban, rural and coastal planning and development.
Thinking through Tourism assesses the enormous potential contribution that analysis of tourism can offer to mainstream anthropological thinking. The volume opens up new avenues for enquiry and is an essential resource for students and scholars of anthropology, geography, tourism, sociology and related disciplines."
See the publisher's website for more details about the book: http://www.bergpublishers.com/?tabid=11798
Link to the journal: http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=194/view,page=2/
If you are interested in writing a review could you please send me some details about yourself.
All the best,
Peter
