Native Tours: The Anthropology of Travel and Tourism

Rating:
Summary: Best text for the anthropology of tourism on the market
Review: As a fellow anthropologist in the field, I know that Erve Chambers has done the anthropology and tourism research and teaching community a great favor by writing this book which summarizes most of the key ideas that have been distilled in the field over the last 30 years. It is well written, easy to read, densely packed with ideas, concepts and examples and is the best book to use in introductory courses in the anthropology of tourism. If you are new to the field and don't want to take a course in it, this book is still the best thing on the market. It is also inexpensive and a great bargain.
