Tourism and Indigenous Heritage in Latin America
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-08825-2 (ISBN)
By examining contemporary Mexican tourism policies and multiculturalist ideals through policy analysis and ethnographic research in a mestizo municipalcapital in a majority indigenous Nahua municipality, this book shows how mestizo nationalism is regenerated in tourism as part of a neoliberal governmentality framework. The book demonstrates how tourism initiatives that center on indigenous cultural heritage and recognition do not self-evidently empower indigenous citizens, and may pave the way for extracting indigenous heritage as a national resource to the benefit of local elites and tourist visitors.
This work is of key interest to researchers, advanced students, and critically engaged practitioners in the fields of Latin American studies, indigenous studies, social anthropology, critical heritage studies, and tourism.
Casper Jacobsen holds a PhD in American Indian Languages and Cultures, and is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Copenhagen and the State University of New York at Albany, USA. His research focuses on the history and heritage of indigenous peoples in pre-Hispanic, colonial, and contemporary Latin America.
