Resumo

Turismo é muitas vezes identificado como uma estratégia para melhorar o bem-estar das comunidades pobres e seus membros mais vulneráveis – mulheres e seus filhos. A capacidade das mulheres para se envolverem e beneficiarem do turismo é, no entanto, condicionada por papéis de género tradicionais e consequentes desvantagens educativas. Os programas de desenvolvimento visam frequentemente as mulheres para atenuar estas disparidades. Este artigo examina se uma intervenção do Corpo de Paz resultou em uma melhor agência humana e autodeterminação entre as mulheres Q’eqchi’ em Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. O artigo relata as realizações e deficiências da intervenção e desenvolve as implicações práticas e teóricas dos resultados.
