This volume discusses the intersections of multiple human journeys and the importance of places and place settings, such as battlefield re-enactments, heritage fairs, pilgrimage sites and faith journeys. The chapters in this book describe among others racial history tourism, music festivals which are frequent time-journeys attracting local and regional audiences, as well as art journeys, displayed in museums, whereby place plays an important role in how journeys of the soul, culture, and state are intersected, displayed, and remembered. The book also provides insight into how the worlds of art, narratives, and images are evident in how youth draw and depict climate change, re-inventing the past for commercial tourism income and re-interpreting history for contemporary cultures. It shows how global warming is also a journey that is both intellectual and environmental and how politics is an important part of any constructed and reconstructed journey.
