Addressing the Mexican flagship tourist initiative of \u003cem\u003eMagical Villages\u003c\/em\u003e, this book shows how government tourism programmes do more than craft appealing tourist experiences from ideas of indigeneity, tradition, and heritage. Rather, heritage-centered tourism and multiculturalism are fusing into a strategy of government set to tame and steer indigenous spaces of negotiation by offering alternative multicultural national self-images, which trigger new modes of national belonging and participation, without challenging structural political and social asymmetries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy examining contemporary Mexican tourism policies and multiculturalist ideals through policy analysis and ethnographic research in a mestizo municipal capital in a majority indigenous Nahua municipality, this book shows how mestizo nationalism is regenerated in tourism as part of a neoliberal governmentality framework. The book demonstrates how tourism initiatives that centre on indigenous cultural heritage and recognition do not self-evidently empower indigenous citizens, and may pave the way for extracting indigenous heritage as a national resource to the benefit of local elites and tourist visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is of key interest to researchers, advanced students, and critically engaged practitioners in the fields of Latin American studies, indigenous studies, social anthropology, critical heritage studies, and tourism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608207737068,"sku":"9781138088252","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781138088252-tourism-and-indigenous-heritage-in-latin-america.jpg?v=1778189654"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/casper-jacobsen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
