She examines how and why these children elicit such powerful reactions from western tourists and locals in their community as well as how the children themselves experience their work and render it meaningful. Ambivalent Encounters brings together scholarship on the anthropology of childhood, tourism, consumption, and exchange to ask why children emerge as objects of the international tourist gaze; what role they play in representing socio-economic change; how children are valued and devalued; why they elicit anxieties, fantasies, and debates; and what these tourist encounters teach us more generally about the nature of human interaction. It examines the role of gender in mediating experiences of social change-girls are praised by locals for participating constructively in the informal tourist economy while boys are accused of deviant behavior. Huberman is interested equally in the children's and adults' perspectives; her own experiences as a western visitor and researcher provide an intriguing entry into her interpretations. 606 $aSocial interaction$zIndia$zVa?ra?nasi 606 $aTourists$zIndia$zVa?ra?nasi 606 $aTourism$zIndia$zVa?ra?nasi 606 $aChild labor$zIndia$zVa?ra?nasi 610 $aAnthropology 610 $aIndia 610 $aVaranasi 610 $aWestern culture 615 0$aSocial interaction 615 0$aTourists 615 0$aTourism 615 0$aChild labor 676 $a331.3/18 700 $aHuberman$b Jennifer$0916874 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910166658403321 996 $aAmbivalent encounters$92055490 997 $aUNINA
