Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"This book is packed with rich material. Each of the four case studies could be its own monograph. This book is most important for two audiences (with fortunate overlap), those in tourism studies of any region and those dedicated to following scholarship of Mexico and/or Yucatan or Maya studies. This book would be excellent for use in Anthropology, Latin American Studies, or Global Studies classes." * The Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology *
"
Stuck with Tourism is an engaging read that brings into focus concerns about tourism that go beyond the headlines." * Journal of Latin American Geography *
"Matilde Córdoba Azcárate’s
Stuck with Tourism powerfully details the predatory nature of tourism industry development." * Anthropology Book Forum *
"
Stuck with Tourism is both timely and salient. . . .[its] theoretically informed but empirically supported and widely accessible thesis also makes it ideal reading for undergraduates and the general public." * Hispanic American Historical Review *
"Azcárate’s writing is powerful, grabbing the reader from the first few sentences of the introduction. This book is a wonderful addition to the growing body of scholarship that brings the tensions of tourism to the surface." * New Mexico Historical Review *
