Description

Dennis Merrill. 2009. Negotiating Paradise: U.S. Tourism and Empire in Twentieth-Century Latin America. Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press. 327 pp. ISBN: 978-0-8078-3288-2. Tourism is today one of the largest industries in the world; its business volume equals or even surpasses that of oil exports. The contemporary trade in tourism, however, is not without its history. In the Americas, particularly in the circum-Caribbean region, the tourist trade over the last 100 years or so--expanding, contracting, and expanding within the context of specific historical conditions--has become a leading industry. Tourism in the Caribbean did not emerge overnight, nor did it develop along a linear line of progress from the past to the present. Only recently, though, have historians begun to examine this complex and, as historian Frederick Cooper might describe it, "lumpy" history.
