Across time, Phillips argues, tourism, nostalgia, and authenticity converge in the creation of salvage tourism, which blends tourism and history, contestations over citizenship, identity, belonging, and the continued use of Indians and Indianness as a means of escape, entertainment, and economic development.

Reviews
"Phillips has a keen eye for observation and possesses a deep knowledge of these contemporary performances. Her writing is beautiful, her analysis of the productions is stunning, and her central theoretical apparatus of 'salvage tourism' is enticing."—Boyd Cothran, York University
"Phillips's model of salvage tourism will prove influential and highly adaptable, and I expect to find echoes of her core concept in my own environment for some time to come."—Andrew Denson, Western Carolina University
