Description

Touring Poverty examines the controversial transformation of impoverished neighbourhoods into tourist attractions across megacities in the Global South. Author Bianca Freire-Medeiros investigates how selected and idealized aspects of poverty are packaged as tourist commodities, taking readers through Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro, marketed as the largest favela in Latin America. Through interviews with tour operators, guides, tourists and local dwellers, this Routledge sociological study explores the vital ethical, social and economic questions raised by poverty tourism. The book provides critical insight into how global inequality is commodified and consumed, making it essential reading for students and scholars of sociology, anthropology, development studies and urban geography.
