The book examines the extent to which Coser's (1956) 16
propositions can apply to tourism impact studies and, where
possible, to enhance, deepen and challenge the original theory,
using evidence from communities in China that differ from the
context used by Coser. The combination of ethnographic description
and sociologically-oriented analysis, drawing upon both Chinese and
western paradigms that are, at times very different in their
underlying value system, challenges several of Coser's
suppositions. The book will also draw upon subsequent publications
by the authors, both severally and separately. These publications
have utilised different concepts and paradigms, including for
example the use of Valene Smith's concept of the 'culture broker',
Turner's concepts of marginalised peoples, and the paradigms of
constructionism and interpretive research work used in other
studies by the authors. The sum of the work, it is suggested, adds
to our canon of knowledge about social conflict in tourism
development as well as impacts of tourism on disadvantaged ethnic
communities in China.
