Nelson Ross Laguna explores modern day tourism in the americas and where it meets the concept of terrorism. Most of us never stop to think about the footprints we leave afte we have left the areas we claim to explore. Our attempts at helping the south by giving them tourist dollars is another attempt to have white man's privileg save the poor from becoming poorer all the while reinforcing racist stereotypes and the histories of slavery on a continuing path of imperialism. In our attempts to invent our own little paradise in someone else's backyard, we have in turn created a system we were determined to destroy.
