Abstract:

This book focuses on perspectives from and on the global south, providing
fresh data and analyses on languages in African, Caribbean, Middle-Eastern and
Asian tourism contexts. It provides a critical perspective on tourism in
postcolonial and neocolonial settings, explored through in-depth case studies.
The volume offers a multifaceted view on how language commodifies, and is
commodified in, tourism settings and considers language practices and
discourse as a way of constructing identities, boundaries and places. It also
reflects on academic practice and economic dynamics in a field that is
characterised by social inequalities and injustice, and tourism as the world's
largest industry enacting dynamic communicative, social and cultural
transformations. The book will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate
students of tourism studies, linguistics, literature, cultural history and
anthropology, as well as researchers and professionals in these fields.
