Beskrivning

In Tourism and Prosperity in Miao Land, Xianghong Feng focuses on the intersection of tourism, power, and inequality in the southern interior of China. In this region, capital-intensive and elite-directed tourism has reshaped the social and cultural patterns of the ethnic Miao and other local residents. Using ethnographic fieldwork conducted over the course of a decade, Feng examines the cultural reconstructions of space, ethnicity, gender, and morality within changing power structures. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, Asian studies, and tourism studies.For more information, check out A Conversation with Xianghong Feng.

As a case study of tourism and power in rural ethnic China, this book is a helpful contribution to the growing literature in the anthropology of tourism and contemporary China studies through its ethnographic attention to social relations, gender, and rural economies. . . . the book will be of use to scholars already working on these issues, and individual chapters could be effectively integrated into relevant university courses and seminars on minority China, tourism anthropology and rural development.
