In her groundbreaking work, "Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica: Seven Miles of Sandy Beach," A. Lynne Bolles delves deep into the lives and workplaces of Jamaican women who are employed in the tourism industry. These women, who span various roles from housekeepers to hotel and business owners, play a vital role in the success of Negril, Jamaica's thriving tourism sector. Bolles' ethnographic research employs a comprehensive lens to examine the intricate aspects of women's labor within the tourist industry, considering factors such as class, race, education, and training. Through the narratives of thirty interlocutors, Bolles sheds light on the profound impact of emotional labor and face-to-face encounters on these women's perspectives on tourism at the local level. She also explores their concerns about the changing physical environment due to the expansion of tourism.
This insightful work offers valuable insights into the experiences and challenges faced by Jamaican women in the tourism industry. It highlights the importance of recognizing and valuing their contributions to the sector while also raising awareness about the potential negative effects of tourism on local communities. By examining the intersection of class, race, and gender in the tourist industry, "Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica" contributes to the growing body of literature on gender, work, and tourism.
In conclusion, A. Lynne Bolles' "Women and Tourist Work in Jamaica: Seven Miles of Sandy Beach" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of women's labor and the impact of tourism on local communities. Through her ethnographic research and compelling narratives, Bolles provides a valuable contribution to the field of gender, work, and tourism studies.
