Global Heritage
A Reader

"Archaeology concerns the present as much as the past. This volume draws together critical international and interdisciplinary considerations of heritage that will be important for years to come."
Chris Gosden, University of Oxford.

"Global Heritage constitutes an important and timely contribution to heritage studies, anthropology and archaeology. It brings together the best empirical research about heritage in different cultural environments and, through insightful and collaborative texts, sets forth the major theoretical advances in this field."

David Berliner, Professor of Anthropology, Laboratoire d’Anthropologie des Mondes Contemporains, Université Libre de Bruxelles
