Re-Centering Women in Tourism

Re-Centering Women in Tourism: Anti-Colonial Feminist Studies addresses tourism as simultaneously empowering women and reproducing colonial hierarchies. Placing a unique and long overdue theoretical frame around tourism, this volume contributes to conversations on the engagement of women in tourism by centering women's multivalent lived experiences-as hosts, liaisons, vendors, performers, producers, and consumers-in tourism projects. Examining eco-tourism, craft production, and food tourism initiatives, the contributors embrace the building of new knowledge and advocate for change. By centering women and their experiences through epistemological lenses that encompass colonial histories and economics, this collection reframes the very presuppositions on which tourism initiatives are based and helps imagine sustainable and regenerative alternatives.
