"Each year, approximately a million tourists visit slum areas on guided tours as a
part of their holiday to Asia, Africa or Latin America. This book analyses the cultural
encounters that take place between slum tourists and former street children, who work
as tour guides for a local NGO in Delhi, India. Slum tours are typically framed as
both tourist performances, bought as commodities for a price on the market, and as
appeals for aid that tourists encounter within an altruistic discourse of charity.
This book enriches the tourism debate by interpreting tourist performances as affective
economies, identifying tour guides as emotional labourers and raising questions on
the long-term impacts of economically unbalanced encounters with representatives of
the Global North, including the researcher. This book studies the 'feeling rules'
governing a slum tour and how they shape interactions. When do guides permit tourists
to exoticise the slum and feel a thrilling sense of disgust towards the effects of
abject poverty, and when do they instead guide them towards a sense of solidarity
with the slum's inhabitants? What happens if the tourists rebel and transgress the
boundaries delimiting the space of comfortable affective negotiation constituted by
the guides? This book will be essential reading for undergraduates, postgraduates
and researchers working within the fields of Human Geography, Slum Tourism Research,
Subaltern Studies and Development Studies"
