"Residential Tourism: (De)Constructing Paradise" offers the first in-depth, critical exploration of the foreign retirement/expatriate communities proliferating in both size and number throughout Latin America. Amidst the widespread development and promotion of international destinations of residential 'paradise' intended for retirement, leisure, and experiences of exotica, this book draws on a diversity of perspectives in order to analyze the social and spatial impacts that this dynamic phenomenon has on the people and places it directly affects."--Publisher's website.
