Review :
This volume is a wonderful, comprehensive compendium of study-abroad assemblages. It is a most intensive read, simply because the reader travels with cultural texts all over the world, all at once, discovering the practices and discourses of study-abroad....The rendering of how the study-abroad performance is balanced, enacted and reproduced makes this book an invaluable resource for understanding the culture of study-abroad, and provides a unique glimpse into a rite de passage of the American university. This volume is highly recommended for international education professionals and faculty program leaders. This book is an innovative text contrasting tourism and anti-tourism in subtle and unexpected ways. It was a mind-blowing book for me! (This edited collection) draws on a range of abstract and complex concepts but does so in an assured and clear way. It makes the complex simple, but never simplistic. . . Conceptually it draws on themes from anthropology and the interdisciplinary field of tourism studies and publications on service learning and study abroad. As such, the book . . . (will) be a significant addition to the literature. International educators have been loathe to draw comparisons of education abroad with tourism, often countering criticisms with justifications of the academic and transformative nature of education abroad. Yet, language such as “trips”, “travel” and “tours” is pervasive in marketing campaigns that promote programming to students. This timely volume, grounded in anthropology and cultural studies, takes readers on a quest to better understand the unique promises of education abroad against the structures and imaginaries of tourism. As the COVID-19 pandemic propels us into a new era of higher education, this volume will be useful to those eager to reshape the next generation of education abroad. This volume is a must-read for students, practitioners, and scholars.
