Slavery, Contested Heritage, and Thanatourism
About this book
First published in 2002. This book explores the inter-relationship between two discrete and contrasting phenomena: the inglorious history of slavery and modern-day heritage tourism. Recommended reading for those with an interest in the heritage tourism debate and the appropriation of the past as a tourism attraction.
