Our significant dead and mortality moments are remembered at dark
tourism sites, where complex issues of politics, history and ethics
are exposed. This first-ever travel guide to dark tourism in
England offers a thought-provoking compendium of difficult
heritage. We remember the dead or acts of suffering through
'heritage that hurts'. This book explores infamous acts as well as
obscure dark tourism sites lost to memory. Each site is challenged
by its history and its political discourse and questions are raised
as to how we remember our tragic past. Each site also has ethical
issues that need to be addressed and confronted and visiting these
sites are often fraught with moral dilemmas. 111 Dark Places in
England That You Shouldn't Miss will help shine light on dark
tourism and inherent complex issues associated with commemorating
our dead. Dark tourism is politically vulnerable and ethically
laden with moral commentary. This book attempts to be authoritative
yet accessible in exploring sites of pain and shame.
