Beschreibung:
Touring Poverty addresses a highly controversial practice: the transformation of impoverished neighbourhoods into valued attractions for international tourists. With a full and sensitive exploration of the ethical debates surrounding the `sale of emotions¿ elicited by the first-hand contemplation of poverty, Touring Poverty is an innovative book that provokes the reader to think about the role played by tourism ¿ and our role as tourists ¿ within a context of growing poverty.
