Summary
The coalescence of militarism and tourism, in Teresia Teaiwa’s formulation as used in Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine: when “military or paramilitary forces ensure the smooth running of the tourist industry, and that same tourist industry masks the force behind it” (Invited to Witness — Solidarity Tourism across Occupied Palestine, PDF p.29).
Details
- Kelly draws the term from the feminist readings of Teresia Teaiwa and Vernadette Vicuña Gonzalez, across colonial contexts from Antigua to Trinidad and Tobago to Guam to Hawai’i to the Philippines; their analyses of the routinization and coalescence of militarism and tourism shape how she reads her ethnographic data and ground the book’s claim that the study of solidarity tourism in Palestine matters beyond Palestine (PDF p.29).
- The name is spelled “Teaiwa” in “Teresia Teaiwa’s” and “Teiawa” in “in Teiawa’s words” on the same spread of the source (PDF p.29), both as printed.
