Considered a classic of its ilk, The Tourist is an examination of the phenomenon of tourism through a social theory lens and includes discussions of authenticity, high and low culture and the construction of social reality. It brings the concerns of social science to an analysis of travel and sightseeing in the post-industrial age.
