Abstract
ABSTRACT Travel guidebooks are an important component of the world’s popular information infrastructure, which alone justifies their study. In this article I examine four early post-war travel guides to the Philippines in terms of how they depict the Philippines and its peoples, as well as their construction of an imagined reader and the ties between that reader and the wider social context of their production, in this case neo-colonialism, the Cold War and the rise of a more independent kind of tourist in the 1970s.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Tourism History is the primary venue for peer-reviewed scholarship covering all aspects of the evolution of tourism from earliest times to the postwar world. Articles address all regions of the globe and often adopt interdisciplinary approaches for exploring the past. The Journal of Tourism History is particularly (though not exclusively) interested in promoting the study of areas and subjects underrepresented in current scholarship, work for example examining the history of tourism in Asia and Africa, as well as developments that took place before the nineteenth century. In addition to peer-reviewed articles, Journal of Tourism History also features short articles about particularly useful archival collections, book reviews, review essays, and round table discussions that explore developing areas of tourism scholarship. The Editorial Board hopes that these additions will prompt further exploration of issues such as the vectors along which tourism spread, the evolution of specific types of ‘niche’ tourism, and the intersections of tourism history with the environment, medicine, politics, and more.
