R e s u m e nEn este artículo, conecto la negación encubierta de derechos ciudadanos por parte del estado con el desarrollo del turismo con el fin de explicar por qué Panamá presenta la imagen de un estado libre de fuerza policial. Abordo dos conceptos principales: un análisis crítico de la gubernamentalidad en el turismo (Hollinshead 1999(Hollinshead , 2003 y el concepto de turismo como una fuerza "creadora de mundos" (Hollinshead et al. 2009;Merrill 2009;Noy 2011; Reis and Shelton 2011). Aplico estos conceptos al desarrollo del turismo en el Archipiélago de Bocas del Toro con el fin de ilustrar cómo los procesos turísticos de gubernamentalidad y "creación de mundos" impuestos por las autoridades son experimentados por los afro-panameños a nivel local. Un análisis de estos conceptos nos permite comprender la naturaleza de la industria del turismo, con suénfasis en la desmilitarización, pero con una presencia importante de mecanismos que limitan los derechos ciudadanos utilizados para mantener a los grupos menos privilegiados en su posición de subordinación en el contexto del desarrollo turístico y la prosperidad económica. [turismo, gubernamentalidad, diaspora africana, Panama] A b s t r a c tIn this article, I connect covert denial of citizenship rights with tourism development to explain why Panama presents itself as a police-free state. I engage two main concepts: a critical analysis of governmentality in tourism (Hollinshead 1999(Hollinshead , 2003 and the concept of tourism as a "world-making" force (Hollinshead et al. 2009;Merrill 2009;Noy 2011; Reis and Shelton 2011). I apply these concepts to the development of tourism in the archipelago of Bocas del Toro to illustrate how the processes of governmentality and world-making are experienced by Afro-Panamanians at the local level when tourism is imposed from above. An exploration of these concepts assists us in grasping the nature of Panama's tourism industry, with its emphasis on demilitarization, but withThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Vol. 19, No. 3, pp. 418-440.

This article analyses how a gendered perspective on community-based tourism (CBT) contributes to the realisation of identity and sovereignty of quilombos. It examines the potential sustainability of CBT coupled with agro-ecological practices within the context of gendered identity politics. Drawing from in-depth ethnographic and archival research conducted between February and July 2015 at Campinho da Independência (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), the article discusses how female leaders integrate sustainable agro-ecological practices and CBT with environmental education in what they call 'ethno-ecological tourism'. This approach to CBT strengthens a proudly defiant version of Afro-Brazilian ethnic identity vis-à-vis the state.
Anthropology has expanded by including within its purview the study of tourism. Although tourism is a subject of relative recent concern among anthropologists, anthropological scholarship on tourism has contributed greatly to tourism studies. In this conceptual article, I offer a preliminary study of the state of tourism studies and anthropology in Latin America and the Caribbean, based on a survey of literature published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese in Latin America, the US, and Europe. My primary concern is to discuss the relationship between tourism studies and anthropology in studying Latin America and the Caribbean. I conclude proposing that for the anthropology of tourism to advance towards more vibrant development, there needs to be an equal and multilingual dialogue among scholars, practitioners, and tourism stakeholders in the Global North and South, as well as a conceptualization of tourism as one aspect of a larger spectrum of movements, representations, and practices.
En medio de la transición nutricional global, en este artículo se examinan prácticas locales de madres de familia en la sierra norte del Ecuador, haciendo uso de métodos de investigación etnográfica. Los resultados de este estudio demuestran que las comunidades estudiadas continúan preparando alimentos enteros en su gran mayoría; no obstante, al mismo tiempo están presentes alimentos procesados que son deseados y usados en algunos hogares de la zona. Finalmente se discute sobre dos discursos que motivan las selecciones alimenticias en esta región: la nostalgia y el cosmopolitanismo.
