摘要

这本自我民族志，以我作为一个混血、双文化黑人女性的经历为基础，是对身份形成如何通过旅行受到影响的探索。它考虑了我在一个传统的霸权社会中与杜波依斯双重意识的生活经历。使用波斯顿(1990)的混血人身份发展模型作为我的研究框架，我考察了加纳的根旅游之旅，作为我生活经历的反映，以证明如何利用自动民族志作为一种关键的调查方法，可以为根旅游和身份之间的交叉性提供重要的见解。这项研究的结果表明，接触根旅行可以成为个人内部和外部反思一个人的行为模式和思考他们的身份的催化剂。

EXPLORING BIRACIAL IDENTITY THROUGH ROOTS TRAVEL FOR AFRICAN DIASPORAS

This auto-ethnography, grounded in my experiences as a biracial, bicultural black woman, is written as an exploration of how identity formation is impacted through travel. It considers my lived experiences with Du Bois’ double consciousness in a traditionally hegemonic society. Using Poston’s (1990) biracial identity development model as a framework for my inquiry, I examine a roots tourism trip to Ghana as a reflection of my lived experiences to demonstrate how the utilization of auto-ethnography as a critical method of inquiry can provide important insights into the intersectionality between roots tourism and identity. Results from this study suggest that exposure to roots travel can be the catalyst for personal internal and external reflection on one’s patterns of behavior and thought about their identity.

期刊介绍： Tourism, Culture & Communication is the longest established international refereed journal that is dedicated to the cultural dimensions of tourism. The editors adopt a purposefully broad scope that welcomes readers and contributors from diverse disciplines and who are receptive in a wide variety of research methods. While potential cultural issues and identities are unlimited, there is a requirement that their consideration should relate to the tourism and hospitality domain. Tourism, Culture & Communication provides readers with multidisciplinary perspectives that consider topics and fields extending beyond national and indigenous cultures as they are traditionally understood and recognized. Coverage may extend to issues such as cultural dimensions of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender and tourism, managing tourists with disabilities, sport tourism, or age-specific tourism. Contributions that draw upon the communications literature to explain the tourism phenomenon are also particularly welcome. Beyond the focus on culture and communications, the editors recognize the important interrelationships with economies, society, politics, and the environment. The journal publishes high-quality research and applies a double-blind refereeing process. Tourism, Culture & Communication consists of main articles, major thematic reviews, position papers on theory and practice, and substantive case studies. A reports section covers specific initiatives and projects, “hot topics,” work-in-progress, and critical reviews.
