CABI Publishing Tourism and Cultural Conflicts
Book SynopsisThe tourism industry and the tourists it serves can exert major influences on host communities at a number of levels. On the one hand, tourism can preserve cultures, resurrect forgotten traditions and prevent cultural stagnation. On the other hand, tourism can challenge existing values, social norms, traditions and behaviour, and this can lead to situations of conflict. In extreme cases, resistance or violence can be the result. For the majority of the time, it would seem that as long as tourism delivers the economic and social benefits it frequently promises, problems are often tolerated and some measure of conflict is accepted. However, whenever tourism brings cultures together, whether freely or forced, a range of complex issues are invoked such as the nature of cultural identity, social and economic power relations, legal and moral rights and management responsibilities. This book examines the changing relationships between tourism and host cultures and explores the reasons why andTable of Contents1: Cultural Conflicts in Tourism: Inevitability and Inequality, M Robinson 2: Indigenous Tourism: Reclaiming Knowledge, Culture and Intellectual Property in Australia, E Whittaker, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada 3: Myth and the Discourse of Texas: Heritage Tourism and the Suppression of Instinctual Life, K Hollinshead, Texas A & M University, Texas, USA 4: Managing the Cultural Impacts of Religious Tourism in the Himalayas, Tibet and Nepal, M Shackley, The Nottingham Trent University, UK 5: Developing Cultural Tourism in Greece, E Karpodini-Dimitriadi, Institute of Cultural Studies of Europe and the Mediterranean, Athens, Greece 6: Tourism Development in De-industrializing Centres of the UK: Change, Culture and Conflict, M Robinson 7: Trading Culture: Tourism and Tourist Art in Pisac, Peru, J Henrici, University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA 8: Social and Cultural Impacts of Tourism Policy in Tunisia, S Bleasdale and S Tapsell, University of Middlesex, Enfield, UK 9: Cornishness, Conflict and Tourism Development, M Ireland, The University College of St Mark & St John, Plymouth, UK 10: Some Dimensions of Maori Involvement in Tourism, C Ryan, Northern Territory University, Darwin, Australia 11: Tourism and Culture in Spain: A Case of Minimal Conflict?, M Barke, University of Northumbria, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK 12: Partnerships Involving Indigenous Peoples in the Management of Heritage Sites, G Wall, University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 13: Tourism and Cultures: Consensus in the Making?, P Boniface

WW Norton & Co DNA USA
Book SynopsisCrisscrossing the continent, a renowned geneticist provides a groundbreaking examination of America through its DNA.Trade Review"It may seem odd for the author of a book on human genetics and heredity to thank his travel agent in the acknowledgments, but in the case of this hybrid work of science and cross-country reportage it’s a fitting gesture… Sykes writes lucidly, creating his own unique mixture in a book that might be described as Travels With Charley meets The Double Helix." -- Abigail Meisel - New York Times Book Review"As the author of The Seven Daughters of Eve and other books, Sykes is an old hand at writing about genetics for the general public. His experience shows as he deftly introduces highly technical information in reader-friendly ways… During his journey, Sykes encounters people who embrace DNA testing as a way to clear up messy genealogical records. He also meets skeptics, who see the technology as a way to discredit their cultural heritage. Sykes doesn’t shy away from these criticisms, presenting a well-balanced view of the disparate attitudes." -- Tina Hesman Saey - ScienceNews"An authority on ancient DNA analysis, Sykes provides a nontechnical introduction to how Y chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA may be used to reveal ancestral heritage. Combining in-depth interviews with volunteers along with these genetic techniques, he attempts to create a biological portrait of the United States. … These DNA portraits illustrate the complexity of human inheritance and how difficult it is to assign individuals to distinct groups." -- Library Journal"Starred review. Human genetics energetically elucidated, entertaining travel writing, the fascinating personal stories of DNA volunteers, and Sykes’ candid musings on his awakening to the complex emotional and social implications of hidden biological inheritances make for a milestone book guaranteed to ignite spirited discussion." -- Donna Seaman - Booklist

Book SynopsisMsia Kibona Clark examines some of Africa’s biggest hip-hop scenes and shows how hip-hop helps us understand specifically African realities. A tribute to a genre and its artists, Hip-Hop in Africa details the spread of hip-hop culture in Africa and pushes the study of music and diaspora in critical new directions.Trade ReviewThis Pan-African project is a thoughtful synthesis of the various hip-hop making practices in African communities across the continent. It is highly recommended for popular cultural scholars, hip-hop heads, and the cultural producers in hip-hop communities. Indeed, Clark’s book reads in an accessible manner which demonstrates her critical understanding of how academic knowledge production is often confined behind academic walls and trapped in dense academese rendering it inaccessible to the communities we make knowledge with…. This project cements Clark’s commitment to publicly engaged scholarship and to ensuring that writing about hip-hop is also part of the cultural production of the community. * Contemporary Journal of African Studies *“Remarkably well-conceived … [Clark] adeptly covers a wide range of issues in African hip-hop—its role in political protest, the rise of feminist MCs and the effects of migration on cultural production—without forgoing depth in favor of breadth.…There [are] no bling or fast cars here but the stories within shine bright, illuminating the variegated and effusive scenes across Africa.“ * Songlines *“What Clark does especially well is creating a dialogue in each chapter, giving…insight into how each factor, such as language, is approached differently across different parts of the continent, but then also how they come into dialogue with each other and present different [viewpoints] to the rest of the world. It’s an incredibly rich and dense text, just packed with information, but also very accessible and easy to understand.” * Scratched Vinyl *“This is a very important [study]. To say that I learned a lot about the artists and their music … and the intricacies of hip hop music and culture would be an understatement; I came away having totally enhanced my own pop culture credibility. I have heard Msia Clark speak to her work, and she brings to the story of today’s hip-hop storytellers the passion of the historian who must give voice to a phenomenon, a movement, a future that we must recognize and appreciate.”

Social Science Research Council Transitional Justice Culture and Society Beyond
Book SynopsisTransitional justice processes have a fundamental public dimension. Their impact depends in part on the social support they receive. For this reason, transitional justice bodies have increasingly implemented outreach programs. Beyond the role of outreach, however, other initiatives-such as media and cultural interventions-can strengthen, but also in some cases undermine, the public resonance of transitional justice. How can media and art be used to engage society in discussions about accountability and redress? How do media influence social perceptions and attitudes toward the legacy of the past? To what extent is social engagement in the public sphere necessary to advance the political transformation that transitional justice measures try to promote? Examining the roles that society and culture play in transitional justice contexts, the essays in this volume focus on the ways in which communicative practices can raise public awareness of and reflection on the legacies of mass abuse.Trade ReviewThe book addresses a long-standing gap in transitional justice between institutional interventions and the need to recognize and support the mechanisms of human interaction-what happens between people and between communities and the structures established to maintain them. This unique collection of essays addresses the breadth of communicative mechanisms-from traditional media to new media and from art to film to photography to literature. The beautifully crafted chapters bring alive the multidimensional nature of social engagement and describe how these societal processes can maim and destroy as well as contribute to survival and healing. This collection is the first in the transitional justice literature to recognize the need to move beyond top-down 'outreach' programs to support two-way communication in its multiple forms and to recognize that societies rebuild by utilizing social, psychological, historical, and cultural pathways that strengthen their commitment to change. The strength of this book lies in its attention to multiple forms of creation and its appreciation of societal energies in responding to the past and addressing the future. -- Harvey M. Weinstein, Human Rights Center, University of California, Berkeley The contributors examine various forms of outreach attempted after a transition-from official press releases to participatory theater to Sesame Street-to sort through what has and has not worked and why. Together, these pieces make a powerful argument that efforts to deal with the past will fail unless they are connected to society. -- Tina Rosenberg, author of The Haunted Land: Facing Europe's Ghosts After CommunismTable of ContentsPreface On Making the Invisible Visible: The Role of Cultural Interventions in Transitional Justice Processes Pablo de GreiffIntroduction Transitional Justice and the Public Sphere Clara Ramirez-Barat Part One: Outreach in Transitional JusticeChapter 1 Implementing an Engagement Model: Outreach at the Special Court for Sierra Leone Maya KarwandeChapter 2 Making Justice Visible: Bosnia and Herzegovina's Domestic War Crimes Trials Outreach Stephanie A.

Harvard University Press The Moral Resonance of Arab Media
Book SynopsisThis book studies contemporary Arab political poetry, providing insights into how modern Arab media forms are shaped by language and culture. By examining lives and works of individual poets, singers, and audiences, it shows how tribalism is a resource for critical reform when expressed in tropes of community, place, person, and history.Trade ReviewThis brilliant interdisciplinary work on media and tribal poetry in Yemen by a superb Arabist is at once a significant contribution to media studies, linguistic pragmatics, poetics, and the anthropology of the Middle East. The scholarship is thorough, carefully building on previous research, but also departing from it in original and imaginative ways… While acknowledging that the two aesthetics of circulation and resonance are integral to each other, Miller argues that it is particularly the aesthetics of ‘resonance’ that is important to understanding how moral authority, political order (or disorder), and artistic success are debated by Yemenis. This idea, and the claims the author makes for it, will surely occasion lively discussion and debate. -- Steven C. Caton * Middle East Journal *

Reaktion Books Design for Society
Book SynopsisAlthough design has become eminently newsworthy among the general public in our society, there is very little understanding to be found of the values and implications that underlie it. This book analyses design's role and status, and discusses what our obsession with it tells us about our own culture.Trade Review'Whiteley's look at design in the 1990s is an account of how the design industry, caught up in its own self-image for the past decade, needs to reinvent itself and focus again on its social role. This means taking greater account of green and feminist issues and creating a new type of socially responsible design. Surely a thesis of relevance to architects.' - RIBA Journal 'His green and feminist critiques ... blow a welcome breath of fresh air into the design profession.' - The Ecologist 'Whiteley's Design for Society is an important and well-reasoned explanation where design stands in relation to environment and ecology in the nineties. It will refocus the discussion from style to need and human issues. It should help to make the shift to more human and spiritual concerns visible to consumers, students and professionals in design.' - Victor Papanek, author of Design for the Real World

Book SynopsisIllustrating the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and changes it has generated in the economy, society and culture, this expansive book continues the debate concerning the digital revolution and the rise of the algorithmic society.Trade Review‘There is a fantasy that AI will decide the future on its own. This book shows us that, on the contrary, it is up to us to create meaning and value through these new technologies. Luciana Lazzeretti allows us to measure these challenges and the renewed importance of culture for the development of cities and territories. An important contribution for those who think about innovation today.’ -- Olivier Crevoisier, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland‘Lazzeretti describes an unbrave new world where metrics run wild and humans have a hard time imposing a logic of “responsible innovations.” To overcome the tyranny of data-driven decisions, she urges a return to narrative, craftsmanship, and trust – a sane, creative plea to protect memory and diversity while nurturing economic growth.’ -- Sharon Zukin, Brooklyn College and City University Graduate Center, New York, US and author of The Innovation Complex: Cities, Tech, and the New Economy‘This important book demystifies: artificial intelligence (AI), algorithms, digital “learning” and “big data”, their malign designs and benign uses. Museums suffer attacks, so high security demands toughened glass and high hanging for masterpieces. But digital reproduction returns their original colours, durability and accessibility. This take on “algorithmic society” is valuable, useful and thought-provoking in equal measure.’ -- Philip Cooke, The Mohn Center of Innovation and Regional Development, Bergen, NorwayTable of ContentsContents: 1.

Book SynopsisThe authors of this book use regulation theory to bring theoretical focus and analytic clarity to the study of urban tourism. Provides a unifying analytic framework for the study of urban tourism. Brings urban tourism into focus as an important political, economic and cultural phenomenon. Presents original essays written by established scholars, including studies of Venice, Mexico, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, London, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Australia''s Gold Coast. Trade Review"Building on the insight that markets rest on political foundations, this volume of highly perceptive studies asks how tourism has become increasingly prominent on the urban scene and how this has affected urban dwellers, positively as well as negatively. Fascinating, provocative, unexpected, never simplistic, this book gives us the state of the art on this timely subject." John Mollenkopf, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, CUNY Graduate Center "This book stands out in what is a rapidly growing literature on tourism by attempting a systematic empirical examination of major trends and components of urban tourism. It moves from global trends to the particular ways in which these become concrete economic, social, cultural conditions in specific cities. And it moves from detailed empirical analyses to broader interpretive framings of what it all means." Saskia Sassen, editor of Global Networks/Linked Cities "The book is coherent, the chapters are consistent and the introduction and conclusion are well-written.....it will serve well the global economists who are interested in relationship between the global trends and tourism dynamics at the local level."

Book SynopsisIn this major intervention into the 'Asian Century', Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak challenges the reader to re-think Asia, in its political and cultural complexity, in the global South and in the metropole.Trade Review“Other Asias is an eloquent plea for a pedagogy of continental scope that does not evade or erode the singular, ‘textured’ life, thought and work of geographical regions and political minorities. The exemplary courage and extraordinary imagination that have distinguished Spivak's work are now engaged in rich reflections on the political art of humanistic education.” Homi K. Bhabha, Harvard University “This deeply passionate, ethical, and political book tells us that we must pluralize Asia because it is only in a pluralized world that we can imagine a more just one.” Eduardo Cadava, Princeton University “Spivak’s postcolonial perspective here offers an incomparable understanding of Asia in its multiplicity of differences, a tour-de-force from one of our era’s most brilliant engaged and critical thinkers.” Robert J.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Life in America
Book SynopsisLife in America: Identity and Everyday Experience is a fascinating collection of readings that explores how people negotiate identity in the United States today. Brings together readings that provide a thoroughly engaging and fascinating look at central issues of identity and what it means to be American. Explores the tension between identity and identification to help readers begin to understand how people creatively confront the perks and perils of identity in the United States. Offers a look at a wide range of subjects including: violence and video games, queer pilgrimages to San Francisco, Filipina critiques of sleeping around, and the significance of lowriders in Hispano/Chicano culture. Trade Review"This rich volume can be recommended to both advanced scholars of American culture and beginners in this field. The former can find a multitude of quite recent applications of approaches they are already familiar with; the latter may wonder at the dizzying varieties of American experience, as well as look with disbelief at the multitude." Anthropologie "Lee Baker has pulled together and provided an extremely useful conceptual frame for some of the best social analysis on current trends in the cultural practices of identity and identification in US society. This collection is a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in demystifying identity politics and understanding the complexities, pluralities, and common ground of cultural citizenship in the USA as it is changing in the new millennium." Faye V. Harrison, University of Tennessee "American higher education’s longstanding myths about cultural assimilation and equal access for all have given way to a new scholarly literature, which rigorously critiques the structures of identity, inequality, and power. In this timely and provocative reader, brilliant anthropologist Lee Baker has selected an outstanding collection of essays about the complex politics of cultural diversity. Life in America provides an insightful exploration into the major contemporary debates and issues that define studies of race, gender, sexuality, and class in American society." Manning Marable, Columbia University "Life in America is a user’s guide to everyday life and all its contradictory complexity, an indispensable inventory of practices and patterns in US society that produce both creative connections and corrosive conflicts, stimulating similarities and disturbing differences."
