‘This book is a timely contribution, showing that a justice-centred agenda for tourism is more urgent than ever. By confronting the structural foundations of tourism’s inequalities - capitalism, coloniality, and patriarchy - this varied volume situates tourism within wider struggles over planetary futures, equity, and survival. Justice is not regarded as the endpoint of development, nor a peripheral concern to sustainability but as a foundational precondition for imagining futures that are socially just, ecologically resilient, regenerative, and ethically tenable. This book is a must-read for all those who believe it is essential to place justice at the heart of tourism research and practice.’
