How do hosts and guests welcome each other in responsible
encounters? This book addresses the question in a longitudinal
ethnographic study on tourism development in the coffee-
cultivating communities in Nicaragua. The research follows the
trail of development practitioners and researchers who travel with
a desire to help, teach and study the local hosts. On a broader
level, it is a journey exploring how the conditions of hospitality
become negotiated between these actors. The theoretical approach
bases itself on the ethical subjectivity as responsibility and
receptivity towards 'the other'. The ideas put forward in the book
suggest that hospitality, responsibility and participation all
require a readiness to interrupt one's own ways of doing, knowing
and being. This book provides a conceptual tool to facilitate
reflection on alternative ways of doing togetherness and will be of
interest to students and researchers of hospitality, tourism,
development studies, cultural studies and anthropology.
