Smith, Kimbra, 1970- author. Practically invisible : coastal Ecuador, tourism, and the politics of authenticity / Kimbra L. Smith. 1st ed. Nashville, Tennessee : Vanderbilt University Press, 2015. 1 online resource text txt computer c online resource cr Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph English ""A theoretically rich ethnography of an unrecognized coastal Ecuadorian indigenous group. Grounded in local knowledge and practice, the book shows how Agua Blancans bypass the national discourses that erase them from the landscape to access broader globalizing processes, with international implications as well as national and local ones"--Provided by publisher"-- Provided by publisher. "The community of Agua Blanca, deep within the Machalilla National Park on the coast of Ecuador, found itself facing the twenty-first century with a choice: embrace a booming tourist industry eager to experience a preconceived notion of indigeneity, or risk losing a battle against the encroaching forces of capitalism and development. The facts spoke for themselves, however, as tourism dollars became the most significant source of income in the community. Thus came a nearly inevitable shock, as the daily rhythms of life--rising before dawn to prepare for a long day of maintaining livestock and crops; returning for a late lunch and siesta; joining in a game of soccer followed by dinner in the evening--transformed forever in favor of a new tourist industry and the compromises required to support it. As Practically Invisible demonstrates, for Agua Blancans, becoming a supposedly "authentic" version of their own indigenous selves required performing their culture for outsiders, thus becoming these performances within the minds of these visitors. At the heart of this story, then, is a delicate balancing act between tradition and survival, a performance experienced by countless indigenous groups"-- Provided by publisher.
