Tourism shapes popular fantasies of adventure, structures urban and
natural space, creates knowledge around difference, and demands an
array of occupations servicing the insatiable needs of those who
travel for leisure. Even as migrants and refugees have become
targets of ire from far-right parties, international tourism has
grown worldwide. This issue posits a radical approach to the study
of tourism, highlighting how tourism as a paradigmatic modern
encounter bleeds into diplomacy, militarism, and empire building.
Contributors investigate, among other topics, how the United States
has used tourism in Latin America as a tool of interventionist
foreign policy, how Bethlehem's Manger Square has become a
contested space between Palestinians and the Israeli state, how
Spain's economy increasingly relies on northern European tourists,
and how the US military's Cold War-era guidebooks attempted to
convert soldiers stationed abroad into "ambassadors of goodwill."
