Description
Book SynopsisOffers one of the first ethnographies to analyse the tourism industry based on German cultural heritage in southern Brazil. Ricke investigates domestic tourism as sensescapes, focusing on the multiple and layered meanings associated with tourism’s sensory experiences and interactions.
Trade Review“Joining the small but growing scholarship on Brazilian identity that addresses the experiences of Brazilians who are not one of the ‘three races’ that have historically defined the nation, Ricke also shifts the focus to the historically, economically, and culturally important but academically neglected Southern region. Through a focus on domestic rather than international tourism, Ricke emphasizes sensory, embodied aesthetics to consider how ethno-racial and national identities are constructed for German Brazilians, and for the non-German Brazilians who live in and visit the Southern state of Santa Catarina.”—Misha Klein, author of
