Of Tourists and Vagabonds in the Global South is a thought-provoking exploration of the intricate relationship between mobility, privilege, and the spaces we occupy. Set in the vibrant yet unequal landscape of Buenos Aires, this work delves into the hidden intersections of desperation and leisure, challenging our understanding of concepts like "non-places" and the stark division between "tourists" and "vagabonds." With a keen eye, it investigates the unsettling fascination with poverty and how safety-obsessed tourism policies can inadvertently exacerbate the marginalization of those already struggling. Prepare to have your perceptions of mobility, privilege, and the urban experience profoundly reshaped.
