Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book offers a comparative history of U.S. tourism in Latin America during the twentieth century, challenging the conventional narrative of unilateral power dynamics. It reveals a complex interplay of inequality and resistance, illustrating how empire building is not just a one-sided endeavor but a more nuanced and interactive process. Through this lens, the author sheds light on the varied experiences and responses of both North Americans and Latin Americans in the context of tourism's impact on cultural and economic relations.
