Description - Tourism, Diasporas and Space by Tim Coles
Diasporas result from the scattering of populations and cultures across geographical space and time. Transnational in nature and unbounded by space, they cut across the static, territorial boundaries more usually deployed to govern tourism. Tourism, Diasporas and Space explores the new challenges that diasporas pose to tourism discourse. The book introduces the main features and constructs of diasporas, and explores their implications for the consumption, production and practices of tourism. Three sets of mutually reinforcing relationships are explored: experiences of diaspora tourists, the settings and spaces of diaspora tourism, and the production of diaspora tourism. Examples are drawn from a wide spectrum of diasporic groups including the Chinese, Jewish, Southeast Asian, Croatian, Dutch and Welsh. In a vibrant inter-disciplinary collection of essays from leading scholars in the field, Tourism, Diasporas and Space provides a unique navigation of the nature of the connections between tourism and diasporic populations and networks.
