"This collection explores social and cultural issues relating to tourism and how tourist ventures collaborate with performative indigenous communities. A number of questions reoccur throughout the chapters. For example, how are such performative communities constituted by the state, tourism businesses, tourists, and researchers? How do these communities interact with tourism businesses, organizations, and researchers? These issues are explored in 13 chapters, nearly half of which are penned by Tomaselli and colleagues at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. This makes for an edited collection that has considerable cross-referencing and coherence and includes the use of shared field notes and field experiences focused on the same people – the San – but through the eyes of different researchers. Collectively, this makes for reflective writing and deep analysis of the positionality of the researcher in recording interactions between the tourism system, tourists, and their hosts." - Gustav Visser, University of the Free State, South Africa, in: African Affairs, Volume 114, Issue 454, p. 149–170
