In every society, development depends on investment in institutions and individuals. Wickliffe Rose, an early leader in The Rockefeller Foundation, called this “backing brains.” But developing human capital is a risky proposition.

This article tells the stories of two journeys between Cape Town and California. Through these narratives I explore the challenges and rewards of ethnographic work with travelers especially when this work takes seriously their lives when they are not tourists. Ethnographers of tourists face many challenges, some practical — tourists deliberately seek experiences that are independent of their everyday lives and ethnography is at its best focusing on the everyday. Others are due to the anthropologist's own uncertainty about her position as a tourist, making the anthropology of tourism a kind of native anthropology. © 2008, SAGE Publications.

Its ambitions rely on an amorphous 'African' brand that simultaneously positions itself as quintessentially African and 'not African'. Examining this tension reveals at least three contradictions implicit in South Africa's current tourist strategies. The first is a schizophrenic response to Africans from elsewhere on the continent who are at once a critical component of South Africa's Africanness, mighty consumers, widely touted as criminals, seen as burdens on the state, and deported by the tens of thousands. The second is the tourist industry's empowering previously disadvantaged South Africans as its raison d'être, while relying heavily on colonial imagery that is inherently (if implicitly) racist. The third is the way it profits from the country's democratic transformation but to a large degree remains symbolically and financially inaccessible to most of its citizens. This article argues that as long as South African tourism is about an African brand while denying its African spaces and people, it will struggle to become a sustainable and ethical industry.}, Doi = {10.1080/03768350701445632}, Key = {fds286679} } @article{fds286672, Author = {Hubbard, L and Mathers, K}, Title = {Surviving American empire in Africa: The anthropology of reality television}, Journal = {International Journal of Cultural Studies}, Volume = {7}, Number = {4}, Pages = {441-459}, Publisher = {SAGE Publications}, Year = {2004}, Month = {December}, ISSN = {1367-8779}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1367877904047863}, Doi = {10.1177/1367877904047863}, Key = {fds286672} } @article{fds286671, Author = {Mathers, K}, Title = {'South Africa is not Africa’: What American students learn about South Africa}, Journal = {Tourism Review International}, Volume = {8}, Number = {2}, Pages = {127-141}, Publisher = {Cognizant, LLC}, Year = {2004}, Month = {January}, ISSN = {1544-2721}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.3727/1544272042782200}, Doi = {10.3727/1544272042782200}, Key = {fds286671} } @article{fds286678, Author = {Graburn, NHH and Mathers, K}, Title = {Museums Inside and OutDestination Culture: Tourism, Museums and Heritage.
