Description

Increasingly students from the affluent countries are going abroad as part of their "educational experience." Although students see these experiences as invaluable and believe that they have learned a lot, the anthropological literature suggests the opposite; that travel abroad has a greater impact on the hosts than on the visitors and that indeed travel abroad, far from leading to students becoming more open-minded or learning about the other, can reinforce their stereotypes. The standards in anthropology teach humility and the ability to learn from those in the host country. This short book can be read pre-departure and while abroad to provide the reader the practical and philosophical tools needed to create an enriched and mind-broadening experience.

Author Biography:

An inveterate traveler who enjoys hiking and kayaking, Gordon has done field research in Namibia, Lesotho, South Africa, and Papua New Guinea. He is Professor of Anthropology and author of several books including The Bushman Myth, and recently coedited Tarzan was an Eco-tourist.
