About
"The Tourist is an examination of the phenomenon of tourism through a social theory lens that encompasses discussions of authenticity, and low culture, and the construction of social reality. It brings the concerns of social science to an analysis of travel and sightseeing in the postindustrial age. This edition includes a new foreword by Lucy R. Lippard and a new epilogue by the author."--BOOK JACKET.
