| Sumario: | The first book length study of the environmental justice movement, tourism, and the links between race, class, and waste. Tourism is at once both a beloved pastime and a denigrated form of popular culture. Romanticized for its promise of pleasure, tourism is also potentially toxic, enabling the deadly exploitation of the cultures and environments visited.

Out of these efforts and their popular reception, a new understanding of democratic participation inenvironmental decision-making has begun to arise. |
