«Tourists at the Taj» is Tim Edensor's sociology study, published by Routledge in 1998 in paperback (234 pages, in English).
The book examines the different interpretations that coexist around the Taj Mahal: a vestige of the colonial past, a bastion of Islamic power, or a monument to love for tourists. Edensor describes the visit to the monument as a staging in which travelers follow planned patterns, but can also contribute their own gestures and rites.
It is part of the International Library of Sociology series and includes bibliography (pp. 205-214) and indexes.
A work for academics and students of the sociology of tourism, cultural studies, and the history of India.
