Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is something of a landmark in the tourism literature by strengthening the sometimes tenuous links between tourism and anthropology through a series of fascinating cases. It focuses on issues of power but also demonstrates the power of fieldwork in getting nuanced responses to the sometimes fractious relationships between hosts and guests. Peter Burns, Director, Centre for Tourism Policy Studies University of Brighton, UK This rich volume of case studies will be of use to those interested in the study of tourism as well as social and cultural anthropology. It will likely be of most benefit as a reference text to specialist researchers and in advanced undergraduate and postgraduate teaching...Tourism, Power and Culture: Anthropological Insights is a valuable contribution to the expanding knowledge base concerning issues of power as they intertwine with tourism, and with its addition of culture as a level of analysis, it should be well received. Scott Cohen, Bournemouth University, UK in International Journal of Tourism Research, 12, 2010 It is always a pleasure to review a tourism text written or edited by anthropologists, as it is inevitably fascinating and deals with some of the most poignant issues in tourism studies. The work also tends to be thoroughly researched and well-written. This book is no exception and provides a very enjoyable but challenging read, as it deals with some difficult and disturbing issues relating to the subject of power.
