What does it mean to bring a young person to a country that they've never been to and to have them work in an orphanage or help build houses or help to deliver food, without explicitly naming the history that helped create the current landscape of inequality that currently exist?

It's essential to give students the historical tools to make sense of the world around them. It's not a matter of being "objective." Keeping this history from them is an intentional decision with real implications for how they process the things they see when they travel abroad.

completely agree. Having been on one years ago, what's even more nefarious about it is that the trips encourage the students to thinkthey are doing a lot of good. In reality the trip is FOR them, they're hardly helping or doing anything for anyone.

late 90s i was one of those young white americans/euros backpacking around the highlands of guatemala with no idea that there'd been a brutal military repression campaign raging there for decades. visible trauma everywhere. didn't figure it out til years later.

When I went to a Spanish language school in Guatemala, they actually included the context of the civil war and how it has and still does affect the country, including how it changed churchgoing (Many young people associate the Catholic Church with the gov and disassociate).

When, as a campus minister, I took students to Haiti, we had multiple preparatory classes talking about the history there and the U.S. involvement in it (sometimes to the good; often to the bad). I think it helped add some depth to the experience.

The 2019 book release of “Beyond Guilt Trips: Mindful Travel in an Unequal World” by Anu Taranath is a great read for unpacking student immersion trips.
