Description

Explore the complex reality of poverty tourism with Touring Poverty, part of the Routledge Advances in Sociology series. This book examines the controversial practice where impoverished neighborhoods become destinations for international travelers. Focusing on the megacities of the Global South, the text looks at how specific aspects of poverty are turned into commodities for consumption. Bianca Freire-Medeiros provides a deep look into Rocinha, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro known as the largest favela in Latin America. Through interviews with tour operators, guides, tourists, and local dwellers, the author examines the questions raised by this type of tourism. This work is a valuable resource for students and professionals interested in anthropology, sociology, and the social impacts of global travel.
