[Killthehumans Savetheforest · Rating 1 out of 5]

The authors are in love with the nobel savages.
a collection of uninformed essays, lacking worldview, a background in colonialism, economics, politics, or anything that this book covers. non-academic, packed full of unbacked and unjustified opinions, assumptions, and pseudo-racist earnestly gushing ideas like "wow, i just loooove how indigenous people can know things about their environments without white people or science having told them."

actually, if you're racist, and it's just occurring to you now that this might be a stupid standpoint, this book will probably help to ease you away from your beliefs. for the rest of us, the surprise in the authors' voices makes makes me want to rip this book up.

this book is sexist and xenophobic. it alienates and infantilizes indigenous people and depicts them as sensationalist novelties.
it lists "homosexual prostitution" as a separate negative effect of tourism, in addition to "prostitution".
god that's magic.
