Reviews

Two critical yet beautiful voices and an impressive journey: No other study on language and tourism combines the perspectives on postcolonialism, ruination and semiotic landscapes in such an engaging and eye-opening manner. Scholars in the field of tourism studies will be very grateful for this new book. - Nico Nassenstein, University of Mainz, Germany


Colleagues who wish to adopt postcolonial approaches to their work on language often do not know where to begin. I can think of no better text than this one to get them started, given how it seamlessly acknowledges commonalities while celebrating diversities, articulates marginalized voices while cultivating intertextualities, and balances empirical accountability with social responsibility. * Nicholas Faraclas, University of Puerto Rico * Two critical yet beautiful voices and an impressive journey: No other study on language and tourism combines the perspectives on postcolonialism, ruination and semiotic landscapes in such an engaging and eye-opening manner. Scholars in the field of tourism studies will be very grateful for this new book. * Nico Nassenstein, University of Mainz, Germany * Storch and Mietzner deliver a timely work on the oft-overlooked impacts of tourism in Africa, specifically focusing on the eastern portion of the continent [...] Two of the strongest elements of this work are the narrative imageries that come through the stories of locals as well as the colorful figures that illustrate each chapter. Readers cannot help but want to delve further into the research on the topic and actually visit these places the authors have captured. -- K. M. Woosnam, University of Georgia, USA * CHOICE, April 2022 Vol. 59 No. 8 *
