This volume unravels the politics surrounding behind China's
hegemonic project of heritage tourism development in Lijiang. It
provides a compelling study of the dialectical relationships
between global and domestic capital, the state, tourists and locals
as they collude, collaborate and contest one another to ready
Lijiang for tourist consumption. Using rich material from
insightful interviews and quantitative data, the authors show how
complex tourism development can be even as it strives to do good
for the community. Su and Teo investigate the practices of
contestation and negotiation of identity within Lijiang; analyze
the negotiations that transform material and vernacular landscapes;
and suggests strategies that will enable sustained tourism interest
in this location. Linking Gramsci's theory on hegemony to the
cultural politics of space, this book has two major strengths: it
establishes a theoretical framework to conceptualize power
relations in tourism space and provides critical insights into the
rapidly shifting socio-political landscape of contemporary China.
Comparisons with other Chinese heritage sites are also provided. By
addressing the power struggles inevitable in the process of tourism
development, The Politics of Heritage Tourism in China provides an
innovative understanding of China's dynamic politics in a period of
transition. As such, it will address the needs of students and
academic scholars working in the fields of China studies, tourism,
cultural studies, urban studies, sociology, geography, political
science and heritage studies.
