In Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica: Seven Miles of Sandy Beach, A. Lynne Bolles
examines Jamaican women tourist workers and their workplaces in Negril, Jamaica. A
major component of Negril's tourism success is the labor of women tourist workers,
ranging from housekeepers to hotel and business owners. Bolles's ethnographic research
examines key aspects of women's labor in the tourist industry through the lenses of
class, color, education, and training. Through the narratives of thirty interlocutors,
Bolles focuses on the prescience of emotional labor and face-to-face encounters, investigating
these women's ideas about tourism on the local level and their wariness of the changing
physical environment as a result of tourism expansion--back cover
