‘Our forest-our home’: leisure and tourism among the Bedouin minority in southern Israel
ABSTRACT This article examines leisure and in-country tourism patterns of a Bedouin minority population in a semi-arid desert in southern Israel. This study is the first of its kind to focus on an Israeli minority’s outdoor recreational activities in forests using extensive quantitative and qualitative methods conducted among the Negev Bedouins in 2019–2020. The findings indicate that alongside the community’s integration into the Jewish majority, manifestations of self-segregation and alienation were also present. The study demonstrates the forest’s unique role as an ‘enabling space’, neutral and free from internal cultural, traditional, and social constraints. New internal processes and trends were observed in the minority society, which had not yet been revealed. These include the empowerment of marginalised groups and the formation of a gap between Bedouins who settled in cities and those living in rural areas. Moreover, the study points to the trend of adaptation of the Bedouin society to the majority society’s leisure patterns, along with physical closeness between the majority and the minority during recreation. The research contributes to the broader study of leisure activities by identifying and analysing trends and social processes among a particular ethnic minority group.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Tourism and Cultural Change ( JTCC ) is a peer-reviewed, transdisciplinary and transnational journal. It focuses on critically examining the relationships, tensions, representations, conflicts and possibilities that exist between tourism/travel and culture/cultures in an increasingly complex global context. JTCC provides a forum for debate against the backdrop of local, regional, national and transnational understandings of identity and difference. Economic restructuring, recognitions of the cultural dimension of biodiversity and sustainable development, contests regarding the positive and negative impact of patterns of tourist behaviour on cultural diversity, and transcultural strivings - all provide an important focus for JTCC . Global capitalism, in its myriad forms engages with multiple ''ways of being'', generating new relationships, re-evaluating existing, and challenging ways of knowing and being. Tourists and the tourism industry continue to find inventive ways to commodify, transform, present/re-present and consume material culture. JTCC seeks to widen and deepen understandings of such changing relationships and stimulate critical debate by: -Adopting a multidisciplinary approach -Encouraging deep and critical approaches to policy and practice -Embracing an inclusive definition of culture -Focusing on the concept, processes and meanings of change -Encouraging trans-national/transcultural perspectives
