Product Description
This informative and thought-provoking debut by Shahnaz Habib delves into the complexities of travel and travel writing, specifically from the perspective of a Third World-raised woman of color. It challenges the power dynamics that have long governed tourism, shedding light on the unequal access and representation within the industry. Through personal experiences and cultural analyses of travel artifacts, Habib explores the murky intersections of colonialism, capitalism, and climate change. Her playful and insightful approach offers a subversive history of travel, beyond its surface as a consumer-driven Euro-American activity. As an immigrant with loved ones living across continents, Habib writes with a curious and joyful tone, inviting readers to examine their own relationship with this beloved yet troubled pastime.
