Ecotourism is a unique facet of globalization, promising the
possibility of reconciling the juggernaut of neoliberal development
with ecological and cultural conservation. This book offers an
analysis of ecotourism using a case study of indigenous lowland
Kichwa people of Ecuador and their interactions with global systems
of valuation and exchange. The production of Kichwa culture takes
place in a transnational social field, inhabited by tourists and
international NGOs as much as by forest-dwelling Kichwa, in a
process that is not limited to small communities on Amazonian
riverbanks, but is truly global in scope. Through the lens of
ecotourism, Davidov explores the interplay between global fantasies
of authenticity and alterity and the environmental and cultural
dimensions of indigenous modernities in Ecuador.
