“…At its core, ancestral diaspora travel can recreate emotions and experiences from politically and socially turbulent times (Huang et al, 2016; Mensah, 2015). For many of the colonized global communities, however, diaspora tourism depicts the “complex institutional heritagization of the colonial past,” now suffused with elements of tourism (Boukhris, 2017, p. 684).…”

This article attempts to empirically test a model to explain the hypothesized relationships between important constructs such as emotional experience, personal involvement, destination image, destination satisfaction, and place attachment as antecedents of the future intentions of mature/senior diaspora tourists. The hypothesized relationships were explored using a sample of 419 mature/senior diaspora tourists visiting Ghana. A three-step process was used to explore, confirm and test the interrelationships between the constructs. The results showed that emotional experiences related to joy and love influenced personal involvement. While other hypothesized relationships were supported, unpleasantness and positive surprise did not have a direct effect on personal involvement. Future studies can apply this model to understand other types of tourism.

“…Narratives are accounts that seek to give and make sense of events, experiences and identities (Boukhris, 2017;Bruner, 1991). Narratives may function hegemonically to impose a particular version of reality that is in line with the interests of elite actors (Brown, 2004), facilitating the legitimation of contested policies or practices (Abolafia, 2010).…”

“…It is also crucial internally to those implementing these policies, giving meaning to their actions. However, narratives are also a weapon that can been commandeered by the general populations (Boukhris, 2017). They may construct counter narratives that oppose dominant ones, seeking to impose different meanings and interpretations of events, actions, policies and identities.…”

“…But, narratives are not exclusively the domain of the elite and may also serve as tools of liberation for the colonized, allowing them to re-construct and re-narrate their experiences, realities and identities (Boukhris, 2017). Bhabha (1994) emphasizes the importance of narratives in the postcolonial context, insisting on the need to factor in the hybridity that characterizes such settings.…”

This paper contributes to the drive to decolonize management and organization knowledge by unpacking the role played by indigenous managerial elites in the global managerial colonization of the Global South. We focus on the narratives managerial elites construct to legitimate managerialism to a dissenting population. We conducted an ethnographic study of efforts by members of the city council of Yaoundé, in Cameroon to implement and legitimate a global managerial intervention. Our findings show that to successfully legitimate the imposition of managerialism to a dissenting populace, managerial elites construct hybrid narratives. These hybrid narratives are not ignorant of the local context and are particularly potent because of the manner in which they factor in some local concerns, making the managerialist intervention more palatable to locals and yet continuing to impose a foreign way of life.

“…In this paper I focus on the intersection between gender and race and contend that this has been neglected in studies of sustainable tourism. Gender has been extensively discussed in tourism studies (Ferguson & Alarcón, 2015;Figueroa-Domecq, Kimbu, de Jong & Williams, 2020;) and there are also several publications which focus on race ( (Boukhris, 2017;Jamerson, 2016).…”
