This unique book examines the vital and contested connections
between colonialism and tourism, which are as lively and charged
today as ever before. Demonstrating how much of the marketing of
these destinations represents the constant renewal of colonialism
in the tourism business, this book illustrates how actors in the
worldwide tourism industry continue to benefit from the colonial
roots of globalisation. This interdisciplinary book focuses on the
relationships between tourism, colonialism and place, in both
historical and contemporary periods. Chapters explore cases of
tourism and colonialism in locations across the globe, from
colonial Korea and French Indochina, to colonial Australia, U.S
Tourism in the British West Indies, heritage tourism in Mozambique,
and city branding in Dunedin. Expert contributors analyse the
motivations and impacts of colonial tourism, investigating such
diverse topics as the Chinese tourist rush to Taiwan, issues of
displacement at wildlife sites in Zimbabwe, the impact of tourism
on Indigenous peoples in Hawaii and the pursuit of Macanese
identity and re-colonisation. Excavating the range and diversity of
colonialism at work in tourism across a wide variety of global
destinations, Colonialism, Tourism and Place will be an
illuminating read for students and scholars interested in tourism
and development, heritage studies, and social, cultural and human
geography.
Ordnance: War + Architecture & Space investigates how
strategies of warfare occupy and alter built and other landscapes.
Ranging across the modern period from the eighteenth century to the
present day, the book presents a series of case-studies which
operate in and between a number of settings and scales, from the
infrastructures of the battlefield to the logistics of the domestic
realm. The book explores the patterns, forms and systems that
articulate militarised spaces, excavates how these become
re-circulated and reconfigured within other domains and discusses
the often ephemeral legacies and residues of these architectures.
The complexities of unpicking the spaces of the 'fog of war' are
addressed by an inter-disciplinary approach which deploys graphic
and textual analyses and techniques to provide new and unique
perspectives on a hitherto underexplored aspect of architectural
and spatial discourse: the tactics and programmes through which the
built environment has historically been made to respond to the
imperatives and threats of conflict and, in the context of the 'war
on terror', continues to be so in ever more pervasive ways.

In light of the innumerable interventions that characterise the
transformation of Ireland over the last two decades, Spacing
Ireland: Place, society and culture in a post-boom era explores
questions of 'space' and 'place' to understand the nature of major
social, cultural and economic change in contemporary Ireland. The
authors explore the intersections between everyday life and global
exchanges through the contexts of the 'stuff' of contemporary
everyday encounters: food, housing, leisure, migration, music,
shopping, travel and work. These are the multiple layers of space
we now inhabit. Ireland is a turbulent place. It is fruitful to
consider the contemporary geographies of the island through the
various forms where change is expressed. The wide range of topics
addressed in the collection and the plurality of spaces they
represent make the book appealing not only to students and
academics, but to anyone who follows social, cultural and economic
developments in Ireland. -- .
