Synopsis

Demystifies the often invisible impacts of global tourism, one of the biggest industries in the world. From labour conditions to development by stealth to the role of elites and the cultural impacts on both the visitor and the visited. |The No-Nonsense Guides are the most accessible and enjoyable means for people with hurried lives to find out how the world really works.| - George Monbiot, Guardian columnist and author of Captive State

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Pamela Nowicka is a journalist, film-maker and activist. She has been campaigning and writing on social justice and environmental issues for many years and is particularly interested in the direct connection between western consumer lifestyle, the increasing rich/poor gap and the destruction of the planet. As well as her media activities she works with NGOs both in the UK and in India to raise their media profile and awareness of the work they do. Her campaigning BBC documentary, 'Let Her Die' highlighted the issue of female infanticide in India and won the Palme d"Or, and she has also investigated child prostitution and trafficking in Thailand. Her extensive travels in India and South East Asia provided the initial source material and concepts for the No Nonsense Guide. Pamela believes that unless the current wholesale cultural homogenisation which is occurring is challenged and checked, in twenty years time the whole world will be 'globalised' in the image of the US/UK hegemony.
