Opis

Heritage, Tourism, and Race views heritage and leisure tourism in the Americas through the lens of race, and is especially concerned with redressing gaps in recognizing and critically accounting for African Americans as an underrepresented community in leisure.

Recenzje

"Jackson’s new book would be a welcomed addition to classes centered on post-emancipation African American experiences in North America. The use of ethnographic and ethnohistorical analysis makes Heritage, Tourism, and Race a great case study for methodology classes in anthropology, history, and Black studies." - Ayana Omilade Flewellen, Transforming Anthropology
