This book investigates the complex relationship between dark tourism, the management of sites associated with death and tragedy, and the formation of place identity. It examines how these sites are interpreted and presented to visitors, and the impact this has on the perception and identity of the locations themselves. The work draws on case studies and theoretical frameworks to explore the ethical and practical challenges involved in engaging with such sensitive heritage.

The book is likely to be regarded as a scholarly examination of a niche but growing field of tourism. Its focus on the intersection of place identity and the management of dark sites suggests a text aimed at academics, heritage professionals, and students of tourism and cultural studies. The approach appears to be analytical, drawing on theoretical concepts to interpret real-world examples.
