“…It is not about South African culture and tradition, but primarily about the culture and tradition of the black population. Ethnicisation and ethnic diversity have already been shown as an important scheme of touristic observation elsewhere [see contributions in Rath (2007)]. …”

“…It may be expressed locally, but it is motivated and shaped by global trends and this is most evident, inevitably, in international tourism. The result is a heritage planning using off-the-shelf cliches of historic waterfronts, high streets, farmers markets, ethnic quarters, and the like that are replicated globally (Rath 2007). These are decorated by a 'catalogue heritage' of street furniture, paving, signage, hanging flower baskets, cast iron lamp standards, and the like.…”

Consuming Heritage Places: Revisiting Established Assumptions

This article poses a seemingly simple question, 'How do tourists consume heritage places?' The answers to this question are, however, more complex and yet underpin many of the dedsions of policy-makers. Yet, the question is rarely posed by either academics or by policy-makers in either tourism or place management, largely because it is assumed that the answers are either well-known and even self-evident or are not relevant. The attention of place planners and managers is generally focused on the detailed marketing and management of tourism in heritage places rather than on the broader assumptions upon which it is inevitably based. The argument here is that these usually unexplored assumptions need to be questioned if problems are to be avoided, issues resolved and potentials realized. These assumptions have been grouped here into three broad categories. First, there are assumptions about the market for heritage, of which tourism is only one part; secondly, assumptions about the behaviour of the heritage tourist on holiday, and finally, assumptions about the relationship of the heritage tourist and the heritage place.

“…En effet, les groupes de migrants se créent des repères et des marqueurs. Le marquage commercial (Radice 2008 ;Rath 2007 ;Watson 2009) semble être celui qui a un impact sur nombre de dimensions : urbaines et architecturales, microéconomiques et sociales, macroéconomiques et relatives au développement économique urbain. C'est également le marqueur le plus valorisé par les pouvoirs publics pour créer des espaces de sociabilité.…”

“…En fait, dans l'exemple du Petit-Maghreb, l'enjeu de marketing urbain qui tendrait à commercialiser l'ethnicité (Rath 2007) s'est transformé en objectif de « pasteurisation » (Germain et al 2008). La consolidation d'une image urbaine acceptable était l'un des buts, mais celui-ci s'est heurté à la réalité de cet espace symbolique et commercial.…”

Cette réflexion porte sur une immigration récente au Québec, celle des Maghrébins, et permet de jeter un regard actualisé sur les enjeux de l’ethnicité dans une ville comme Montréal. L’amalgame entre ces Maghrébins et leur appartenance, réelle ou supposée, à la religion musulmane en fait des immigrants dont l’analyse est du plus grand intérêt. Ainsi, décrire les enjeux de la formation du Petit-Maghreb, les difficultés vécues entre les acteurs et les réelles problématiques permet d’évaluer cet espace de visibilité ethnique comme un révélateur des enjeux de gestion de la diversité urbaine dans un temps où l’islamophobie marque les interactions sociales.This analysis focuses on a new migrant group in Quebec and Montreal, the North-African migrants. It analyses the issue of ethnic visibility for such a new social group, which is often defined by its “muslimness.” This study focuses on the meaning of “maghrebinity” in Quebec and Montreal’s context, particularly where ethnicity markers were used to make this “maghrebi” attachment visible, such as Little-Maghreb. This “neighbourhood” recognized by stakeholders as a visible urban area dedicated to North-African migrants is a laboratory, to understand how ethnic diversity is managed in times of islamophobia
