Editorial Reviews:
Synopsis:

Long regarded as a classic, The Tourist is an examination of the phenomenon of tourism through a social theory lens that encompasses discussions of authenticity, high and low culture, and the construction of social reality. It brings the concerns of social science to an analysis of travel and sightseeing in the postindustrial age, during which the middle class acquired leisure time for international travel. This edition includes a new foreword by Lucy R. Lippard and a new afterword by the author.


Review:

"A perceptive, entertaining discussion of tourists and tourism...lends a new and important tone to traditional debates about high and low culture."

Contemporary Sociology
