      abstract = {Birgit Phillips explores the concept of transformative  travel as it pertains to long-term independent travelers  and offers a broad philosophical understanding of the  complex socio-cultural processes involved in identity  negotiation. She examines both the elements that contribute  to the transformation of values and identities and the  mechanisms by which this transformation occurs. By  deploying a pluralistic, reflexive, interpretive research  approach, Phillips foregrounds the personal experiences of  the individual study participants and the meanings they  attach to their travel experiences. In addition, since the  study spanned over 14 years, the author is able to provide  a wide-ranging picture of the complete travel experience,  from initial motivations to post-travel reintegration as  well as the long-term effects on traveler values and  identities.},
