Drawing on her experiences as a destination lecturer on Caribbean cruise lines for twenty years, Anita Gonzalez offers a unique viewpoint as she examines contemporary Caribbean cruise culture as an ethnographically complex site where North American and European travelers are exposed to other cultures through the orchestrated experiences on ship, and via excursions to ports. Gonzales argues that the cruise ship experience is deliberately crafted to deliver the best immersive performance by its workers. However, the workers never leave the theater, they merely move below deck--and like ships' stewards and cooks from previous centuries, they work within an imaginary where Global Majority people are envisioned as servants. By utilizing ethnography and archival materials to illustrate the ship worker's experiences on contemporary cruise ships, and then contrasting those circumstances with the personal accounts of workers on historical merchant ships, Shipping Out illuminates how workers' presence on ships complicates notions of freedom and enslavement, home and journey, place and space. 606 $aPerformance artists$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aEntertainers$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aTheater and society$zCaribbean Area 606 $aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aMinorities in the theater$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 606 $aCruise ships$xEmployees$xSocial aspects$zCaribbean Area 615 0$aPerformance artists$xSocial aspects 615 0$aEntertainers$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTheater and society 615 0$aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMinorities in the theater$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCruise ships$xEmployees$xSocial aspects 676 $a790.209792 686 $aPER000000$aBIO002010$2bisacsh 700 $aGonzalez$b Anita$01788914 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910978255303321 996 $aShipping Out$94324244 997 $aUNINA
