Tourism and Modernity

Rating:
Summary: It's very Good!
Review: I've read this book occasionally and found it really fascinating. As a sociological analysis of tourism, the author successfully applies modern social theories to offer readers alternative perspectives. Obviously, Prof. Wang is familiar with works of Bourdieu, Baudrillard and so on, so that he can jump in and out postmodern theories freely and wonderfully shows the complex relationship between tourism and modernity. The book has been translated into Korean recently, but not yet into Chinese, which I think is really a pity for readers in the motherland of this author.
