Second Edition, The Working Lives of Caribbean Tourism
George Gmelch
Praise for the first edition:
"Provides extraordinary insight into the personal views of tourism workers in Barbados. . . . [M]ake[s] interesting and sometimes surprising reading."-The Nation (Barbados)
"The narratives are thought-provoking and Gmelch's comments are insightful. Everyone in the tourist industry should have this book on their shelves."-Anthropological Quarterly
"Highly readable, conversational prose. . . . [Gmelch] is deserving of the most positive comparisons with Studs Terkel."-Amanda Stronza, Americas
Behind the Smile is an inside look at the world of Caribbean tourism as seen through the lives of the men and women in the tourist industry in Barbados. The workers represent every level of tourism, from maid to hotel manager, beach gigolo to taxi driver, red cap to diving instructor. These highly personal accounts offer insight into complex questions surrounding tourism: how race shapes interactions between tourists and workers, how tourists may become agents of cultural change, the meaning of sexual encounters between locals and tourists, and the real economic and ecological costs of development through tourism.
