Dark TourismTourism Series

av J. John Lennon, Malcolm Foley
Humanity has been fascinated with recent death, disaster, and atrocity since the earliest days of pilgrimage -- indeed, many consider this morbid curiosity to be the origin of tourism. Modern times have seen a revival of tourism "products" allied to these dark sites. Lennon and Foley have spent many years researching what they call Dark Tourism across the globe. This provocative book seeks to explain this phenomena by focusing in particular on concentration camps in Poland and Germany, and sites in the U.S. ranging from the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center to the Sixth Floor in Dallas and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.
