This analytical literature review focuses on critical tourism studies and its intersections with racial analyses. The tourism industry has long relied on desires to experience a sense of Otherness to generate economic growth, which makes race a valuable heuristic site to consider ways culture and economy are intertwined in the global marketplace. Two theories of race-Omi and Winant's (1986) racial formation and Goldberg's (2009) racial neoliberalism-are offered as avenues through that scholars might better investigate intersections of race and tourism. Race is commodified in tourism through orienting the concept around loci of value, and different types of tourism feature more racial prominence than others. Critical tourism scholars may benefit from an increased racial awareness in their work towards providing a counternarrative to strictly business-based tourism research. Meanwhile, race scholars might benefit from an increased understanding of ways racial difference operates within tourism, as it is a major site of negotiations of Otherness. Although racial themes are more prevalent in some types of tourism than others, the two theories provided together force us to consider ways that tourism studies might further racialize its critical inquiries.
Book reviews 87 students. The US universities also built satellite campuses in Africa, the Persian Gulf, and East and West Asia. They also offered "massively open online courses" (MOOCs).This book provides a new theoretical framework to understand how US research universities produce and disseminate knowledge. However, it might have focused on a few more things. First, though the book highlights the contribution of some selected disciplines and area studies centers, it leaves out how other disciplines, such as geography, psychology, and criminology, produce and disseminate knowledge on world regions. Second, though the book discusses three schemata, it did not clearly identify the successes (or failures) of the global schema. For example, the book pays a little attention to understanding the contribution of US research universities in creating a global public discourse on topics such as radical Islam or climate change. This book also did not explore how the valuable ideas of US universities shape and reshape the global justice movement. These contributions are more visible to a scholar, such as myself, who lives outside the United States. Next, though it addresses the culture of collaboration and interaction in academia, it could write a separate chapter about the various forms of interaction in academia's everyday life. This chapter could highlight domestic and international students' contributions to understanding how they create meaning about the United States and the rest of the world. Students' voices are missing in this work. Since none of the authors collected data for this study, they might have overlooked the necessity of writing such a chapter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
