Tourism and Social Change in Post-Socialist Zanzibar

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the impact of tourism in post-socialist Zanzibar, this book explores how locals navigate their changing environment and reshape their identities. It employs a theoretical framework of movement to analyze the evolving concept of ustaarabu, or "civilization," in the context of globalization, secularism, and mass consumption. Through this lens, it delves into the complexities of social change and the struggles Zanzibaris face in maintaining their cultural identity amidst external influences.
