This revolutionary text provokes us to a critical and necessarily urgent refocusing of tourism that foregrounds the local in all its forms (humans, more than humans, and the ecology). Replete with counter-narratives, alternative visions, and practical actions, this book is a triumph in its unapologetic advocacy for tourism futures that are more just and inclusive.
