Subject:

Description:

Ecotourists, explorers, revolutionaries, wives of foreign diplomats, members of scientific expeditions, missionaries, and fun-seeking spring breakers these are just some of the travelers who have provided eyewitness accounts of Latin America's peoples and regions. This unit centers on different types of travelers and their destinations, asking how travelers' purposes and perspectives affected what they saw and decided to record. More generally, it examines how travel has affected Latin American culture and society, such as in the promotion of "authentic" indigenous cultural events or in the building of new cities, like Cancun, as tourist resorts.
