International Volunteer Tourism - Critical Reflections on Good Works in Central America (Hardcover)

Designed to promote reflection and better practices among the prospective volunteers and organizers of travel-for-service experiences, "International Volunteer Tourism" provides a collection of narratives on short-term international volunteering in Central America written by North American organizers, student participants, and Central American partners. The authors explore lessons learned from specific international service interventions in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Honduras, with some attention to Costa Rica and Guatemala. The collection provides a nuanced, contextualized, historically evolving portrait of the increasingly popular practice of "voluntourism" with an eye toward pushing that practice toward meaningful social change.
