Review Quotes:
"...This book uncovers some of the mounting tensions and pervasive discontinuities in global Indigenous tourism movements. The book makes a significant contribution to the literature on Indigenous tourism, colonial histories of cultural repression, the production of Indigeneity, nationalism, and the inequitable of political power structures that continue to marginalize and disadvantage Indigenous communities internationally."
--Courtney Mason, Thompson Rivers University, Transmotion, vol 5 no 1" Indigenous Tourism Movements is a major contribution to research. It provides insightful case studies based on longitudinal, immersive field work that spans decades. Thoroughly informed by the relevant literature and theoretical insights, Indigenous Tourism Movements will be well received by academics and students of anthropology, geography, and cultural and tourism studies."
--Anna Carr, Department of Tourism, University of Otago
