In Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica: Seven Miles of Sandy Beach,
A. Lynne Bolles examines Jamaican women tourist workers and their
workplaces in Negril, Jamaica. A major component of Negril's
tourism success is the labor of women tourist workers, ranging from
housekeepers to hotel and business owners. Bolles's ethnographic
research examines key aspects of women's labor in the tourist
industry through the lenses of class, color, education, and
training. Through the narratives of thirty interlocutors, Bolles
focuses on the prescience of emotional labor and face-to-face
encounters, investigating these women's ideas about tourism on the
local level and their wariness of the changing physical environment
as a result of tourism expansion.
