Abstract
Book reviews outside of the purposely designed influences experienced, the materialities of consumption and the resultant differences, if any, that might exist. Despite the many unposed, never mind unanswered, questions in the various essays the volume is of merit. Although not considered in all chapters the book does seek to suggest that many of the issues surrounding tourism research need to be investigated in conjunction with categories of knowledge that exist outside of the notion of ‘tourist’. For those with the ability to travel (the book never considers those who cannot) leisure and tourism are seen as entwined social practices and therefore examination of the everyday is as valuable to understanding tourism mobility as those away from home. Therefore, this volume does help to point to some potentially significant future directions in tourism studies and, just as impor- tantly, it indicates that the meeting grounds of tourism are far from empty. c. michae l hall, University of Otago, New Zealand Deconstructing Travel: Cultural Perspectives on Tourism by A.
