要旨
Contemporary travel to the global South typically takes place against a backdrop of poverty, enduring legacies of conflict and environmental crises, natural resource scarcities, and developmental deficiencies such as a lack of diversified economies. This leads to perhaps the most contentious aspect of global travel: beyond the clash of cultures, disproportionate power relationships are established between relatively moneyed, educated, curious travelers and desperate, poorly educated hosts. While there are obviously exceptions to such generalizations, these power dynamics are all too common in host-guest relations in the developing world.
