Study Abroad and the Quest for an Anti-Tourism Experience

John J. Bodinger de Uriarte is chair of the Sociology & Anthropology Department, and director of the Museum Studies Program and the Diversity Studies Program at Susquehanna University.Michael A. Di Giovine is associate professor of anthropology at West Chester University of Pennsylvania, director of the WCU Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology, and honorary fellow in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

This volume is a wonderful, comprehensive compendium of study-abroad assemblages. It is a most intensive read, simply because the reader travels with cultural texts all over the world, all at once, discovering the practices and discourses of study-abroad....The rendering of how the study-abroad performance is balanced, enacted and reproduced makes this book an invaluable resource for understanding the culture of study-abroad, and provides a unique glimpse into a rite de passage of the American university.
