This book surveys current writing on the history of the modern
hotel, focusing on three areas of vibrant and timely scholarly
enquiry: the uniqueness of the American hotel, the contested status
of the colonial and postcolonial hotel, and the hotel's embroilment
in violent conflict. It explores the hotel as an institution that
incubates innovation, enables commercial relations on a variety of
scales, and supplies an arena for negotiating relations of
political, cultural, and economic power. The volume presents a
number of case studies, including the hotel in wartime and as a
terrorist target, and critically engages with innovative
scholarship that links the relationship of the hotel to wider
narratives of Western modernity. It is aimed at tourism studies
scholars, as well as history and critical and applied tourism
studies students, at undergraduate and graduate levels.
