Understanding Heritage in Practice

by Susie West (Editor)

Written by an interdisciplinary team of scholars, this authoritative text explores how heritage is delivered and consumed in a global world, and the ever-increasing ways in which heritage is actively valued. New international case studies see heritage as social action, as performance, and as a vehicle for innovations in tourism, challenging the notion that only official heritage practices can successfully select and interpret our links with the past. Aimed primarily at students in heritage studies and professionals in heritage industries, this is book two of three in the Understanding Global Heritage series.

I think I would've liked it more if I hadn't expected it to discuss aspects more relevant to my specific major as it's assigned reading from university but it was interesting nonetheless; and as usual, educational.
