Have slums become 'cool'? More and more tourists from across the
globe seem to think so as they discover favelas, ghettos, townships
and barrios on leisurely visits. But while slum tourism often
evokes moral outrage, critics rarely ask about what motivates this
tourism, or what wider consequences and effects it initiates. In
this provocative book, Fabian Frenzel investigates the lure that
slums exert on their better-off visitors, looking at the many ways
in which this curious form of attraction ignites changes both in
the slums themselves and on the world stage. Covering slums in Rio
de Janeiro, Bangkok and multiple cities in South Africa, Kenya and
India, Slumming It examines the roots and consequences of a growing
phenomenon whose effects have ranged from gentrification and urban
policy reform to the organization of international development and
poverty alleviation. Controversially, Frenzel argues that the rise
of slum tourism has drawn attention to important global justice
issues, and is far more complex than we initially acknowledged.
