The British Virgin Islands (BVI) markets itself to international visitors as a
paradise. But just whose paradise is it? Colleen
Ballerino
Cohen looks at the
many players in the BVI tourism culture, from the tourists who leave their
graffiti at beach bars that are popularized in song, to the waiters who serve
them and the singers who entertain them.
Interweaving more than twenty years of field notes, Cohen provides a
firsthand analysis of how tourism transformed the BVI from a small ne¬
glected British colony to a modern nation that competes in a global
economic market. With its close reading of everything from advertisements
to political manifestos and constitutional reforms, Take Me to My Paradise
deepens our understanding of how nationalism develops hand-in-hand with
tourism, and documents the uneven impact of economic prosperity upon
different populations. We hear multiple voices, including immigrants work¬
ing in a tourism economy, nationalists struggling to maintain some control,
and the anthropologist trying to make sense of it all. The result is a richly
detailed and accessible ethnography on the impact of tourism on a country
that came into being as a tourist destination.
Colleen
Cohen is a professor of anthropology
and women s studies at
Vassar
College. She has written several articles and
has produced three ethnographic videos on BVI tourism, festivals, and mu¬
sical culture.
