Understanding the Politics of Heritage by Rodney Harrison
Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this authoritative text presents an engaging narrative of the way politics features in heritage conservation and management. New international case studies illustrate how notions of identity, social class and nationhood may be woven into the provision of official heritage, and how heritage may be seen to be less about upholding truth or authenticity and more about delivering political objectives. Aimed primarily at students in heritage studies and professionals in heritage industries, this book is one of three in the Understanding Global Heritage series. -- .
Understanding the Politics of Heritage is recommended for those eager to apprise themselves of some of the debates and theoretical “takes” on the subjectThe case studies are compelling, and the overall tone is nuanced and inquisitive. -- .
