Description
This volume investigates contemporary young Chinese backpackers’ views on backpacking culture and backpackers. The author discovers that the backpackers begin their journey due to a desire to pursue freedom, but are driven home because of the risks of carrying out a freewheeling lifestyle within an individualised society.
Jia Xie is a distinguished research fellow in the School of Tourism Management at South China Normal University. Her research covers backpacker culture, the sociology of tourism and geographies of media and communication.
