Postcolonial tourism : literature, culture, and environment

Carrigan here examines the aesthetic portrayal of tourism in postcolonial literatures. Looking at the cultural and ecological effects of mass tourism development in states that are still grappling with the legacies of 'western' colonialism, Carrigan argues that postcolonial writers not only dramatize the industry's most exploitative operations but also provide blueprints toward sustainable tourism futures. Locating this argument in the context of interdisciplinary tourism research, the study shows how the work of creative writers can help revise some of the field's key theoretical concepts and contentions. It also provides a framework for analyzing how an industry that is subject to constant media attention and involves a huge proportion of the global population shapes the cultural, social, and environmental milieux of postcolonial literary texts.
