This How to guide examines how quantitative and qualitative research can be combined, evaluating the various mixed method research designs that have recently come to prominence in tourism studies. Using case study examples, chapters cover research on tourism destination quality, heritage attractions, festivals and events, food tourism and hospitality, alongside the use of participatory geographical information systems. They also explore how to teach mixed methods research to tourism students, emphasising that mixed methods research is an expanding and increasingly important approach to tourism research.

How to use Mixed Methods in Tourism Research is an invaluable resource for students and academics in tourism and hospitality, as well as those specialising in research methods within the field. Practitioners within the tourism industry will also find this a useful reference.

First published in 1990, Deconstructing America breaks new ground by locating the European discovery of America within the study of representations of Otherness. Peter Mason acknowledges that America was part of the European imagination before its discovery, but challenges the claim that the European vision of America is merely a distorted view of some extra-European reality. He relates the way in which Europe tended to see the inhabitants of South America as monstrous figures to a longstanding European tradition on the ‘Plinian’ human races, and goes on to point out that the existence of similar representations among contemporary Amerindian peoples calls into question the extent to which ethnocentrism is an exclusively European idea. Drawing on anthropological, literary and philosophical studies, he shows how European representations of America constitute a cultural monologue which tells more about the Old World than the New. This book will be a stimulating reading for all those working in the fields of symbolic and cultural anthropology, semiotics, cultural studies, Latin America, structuralism and deconstruction.
