Description

Explore the complex relationship between archaeology and tourism in Philip Duke's study of a Greek island. This book examines how tourists interact with the remains of Bronze Age Crete, revealing a connection between the past and the present. By looking at the space between the exotic and the mundane, the text provides a deep look into how archaeological sites and museums shape human perspective. Through a variety of sources, including personal diaries, ethnographic interviews, site guidebooks, and tourist brochures, this work helps readers understand how a constructed past influences how tourists view their own culture. It also examines how these historical sites and museums can legitimize class inequality both on the island and in the tourists' home countries. This is an essential read for those interested in how heritage and tourism impact local communities and global perceptions.
