The Entertainment of Poverty
Been thinking about what happens when people become unexpected aliens - they leave their home, go somewhere new, and don't realize until they're there that they are total outsiders not just because of where they're from, but who they are. (Maybe the two are indivisible.) This led me to an un/popular trend lately referred to as "slum tourism." (See NYT, 8/9/10.) What's the implication of diving head-first into a blighted or impoverished culture? What does it mean as a form of "entertainment," and do the divers-in provide anything valuable to the culture...or are they themselves entertainment for the people they think they are being entertained by?
