Description

My guest on this episode is Bani Amor, a genderqueer travel writer who explores the relationships between race, place, and power. They’re a four-time Voices of Our Nation Arts Foundation fellow with work in CNN Travel, Fodor’s, and AFAR, among others, and in the anthology Outside the XY: Queer Black andBrown Masculinity. In our discussion we look to travel writing as a narrative that underpins colonialism and the identity crisis that it desperately needs. We consider contemporary social media travelogues, the limits to decoloniality and tourism greenwashing, spiritual or psychedelic tourism, what subversive travel writing looks like and what travel writing looks like at home.------------------------------------------------------Bani's Instagram PageWorkshop: Travel Writing and Social Justice: Dismantling the Inner Colonizer with Bani Amor (via Zoom)The Heart of Whiteness: On Spiritual Tourism and the Colonization of AyahuascaBani's B***h Media WritingBani's Official Website (Coming Soon)------------------------------------------------------Discover more episodes and join the conversation: ⁠⁠⁠http://www.theendoftourism.com⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter @theendoftourismJoin the Conspiracy!

Welcome to the End of Tourism, a podcast about wanderlust, exile, and radical hospitality. For some, tourism can entail learning, freedom, and financial survival. For others, it means the loss of culture, land, and lineage. Our conversations explore the unauthorized histories and consequences of modern travel. They are dispatches from the resistance.
