This book offers important perspectives on the experience of modernity in China and reveals the dynamic responses of ethnic minorities as they encounter the forces of state sponsored modernization.
This book explores how the experience of modernization is revealed in China''s newly constructed tourist landscapes. It argues that in China''s burgeoning ethnic tourist villages and theme parks can be seen all the contradictions, debasement, and liberating potentials of Chinese modernity. Tim Oakes uses the province of Guizhou to examine the Chinese tourist industry as an example of the state''s modernization policies and how local people have engaged with these changes.
