Favela Tours
For a long time, favelas were a source of fear for tourists visiting Rio de Janeiro. Now that they are more appealing, some have become popular tourist destinations even though they are still regarded as an "off the beaten track" activity. Favela Tours analyzes the factors behind the emergence of tourism in the favelas, places of otherness and authenticity for visitors who come mainly from Western Europe and North America. Based on ethnography of those involved in these practices (guides, residents and tourists), this book describes how the local and global forces are converging to make favelas part of the western tourism system: a mechanism for fabricating and assimilating otherness.

Les favela-tours
Les favelas ont longtemps cristallisé les peurs des touristes séjournant à Rio de Janeiro. Aujourd’hui attractives, une véritable pratique touristique s’est instituée dans certaines d’entre elles. Bien que toujours considérés par ses acteurs comme une activité « hors des sentiers battus », des favela-tours s’organisent désormais quotidiennement. Les favela-tours analyse ce qui sous-tend l’émergence d’un tourisme dans les favelas, lieux d’altérité et d’authenticité pour des visiteurs qui viennent principalement d’Europe de l’Ouest et d’Amérique du Nord. À partir d’une enquête menée auprès des différents acteurs de ces pratiques (guides, habitants, touristes), cet ouvrage s’intéresse aux forces locales et globales dont la convergence explique l’inscription de la favela dans le système touristique occidental. Il expose ce que les favela-tours montrent du tourisme comme mécanisme de fabrique et d’assimilation de l’altérité.
A Journal of the Life of Thomas Story
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Rich in titles on English life and social history, this collection spans the world as it was known to eighteenth-centur...
