Re-Centering Women in Tourism: Anti-Colonial Feminist Studies addresses tourism as simultaneously empowering women and reproducing colonial hierarchies. This volume contributes to conversations on the engagement of women in tourism by centering women’s multivalent lived experiences—as hosts, liaisons, vendors, performers, producers, and consumers—in tourism projects. Examining eco-tourism, craft production, and food tourism initiatives, the contributors embrace the building of new knowledge and advocate for change. By centering women and their experiences through epistemological lenses that encompass colonial histories and economics, this collection reframes the very presuppositions on which tourism initiatives are based and helps imagine sustainable and regenerative alternatives.

This collection of essays is a magnificent guide to re-framing tourism as ethical and caring work. The predominantly female authors are uniquely placed to see and know the problems of a Western and patriarchal tourism industry. In writing their devotion to better tourism worlds, they are gifting to us the means to reflect, learn, and enjoy new ways of experiencing travel and tourism that are premised on less harm and more awareness. This book is a tribute to the power of the authors' generosity and original contributions to tourism research.
