Seeing and Being Seen: Tourism in the American West
"There has been no shortage of hype and shallow thinking about the role of tourism in the modern West--but there has been a severe shortage of the kind of wisdom that comes from thinking hard and historically about tourism. This book offers the region that kind of wisdom."--Daniel Kemmis, Director of the Center for the Rocky Mountain West and author ofCommunity and the Politics of Place"Seeing and Being Seengoes to the heart of the dilemmas of tourism in the western United States. . . . Insightful, provocative, and engagingly written, it is a valuable book for anyone with an interest in tourism--from park managers, community leaders, and students of the West to all of us in our recurrent roles as tourists."--Chris Wilson, author ofThe Myth of Santa Fe: Creating a Modern Regional Tradition
