This book explores the relationship between imperial formations and
individual encounters at African tourist sites - spaces of leisure,
healing and work. It examines how encounters between tourists and
hosts tend to be constructed along colonial thought lines and
considers how players in the hospitality industry do not interact
as coeval participants, but are racialised, scripted and positioned
according to colonially-established order. The authors focus on the
language of these encounters, not only speech, performance and
response, but also silence, resonance, emptiness, noise -
objectified, materialised, evasive and confusing. Through its
exploration of language in these encounters, the volume shows that
ruination is the one feature that is omnipresent in the multiple
and diverse tourist settings of the postcolonial world. This book
is open access under a CC BY ND licence.
