The White Tourist's Burden

Wednesday, April 23, 2014 at 11:00AM

An excellent article appeared this month on Al-Jazeera America's website addressing a problem with mission tourism from a non-Western viewpoint. The article is titled "The White Tourist's Burden: Growing Western demand for altruistic vacations is feeding the white-savior industrial complex." It's available at http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2014/4/volunter-tourismwhitevoluntouristsafricaaidsorphans.html or the shortcut link at http://alj.am/1iCv4zS . -Shauen
