| Abstract: | Former sites of punishment and incarceration have become a popular tourist experience as defunct prisons are concerted into museums or heritage sites. Among the most prominent are Alcatraz in the United States, and Robben Island in South Africa. The paper argues that accounts for the multiple shades of penal history marketing and interpretation. It explores how multi-hued forms of interpretation have been produced, not only through shifting priorities of memory managers, but also the expectations of tourists and the agendas of external interest groups. |
