#neohippies

[anth421bookresponse]

Neohippies, contrary to their predecessors (the 60’s drug/peace-crazed hippies we all know) are all about experiencing “authenticity” as a form of what is called ethnotourism. “They seek transcendent religious experiences… of indigenous culture; as a result, they are self-consciously more ‘culturally sensitive’ than their hippie ancestors.” Neohippies also tend to be more wealthy and relationships with these tourists are predominantly viewed by locals to be commercial, thus contributing to the commodification of Mazatec culture, among others.

don't say "neohippies"

[nathanielbuildsatesseract]

My intuition tells me that neohippies should be a thing? Are they indeed a thing?
