Citizens, Civil Society and Heritage-making in Asia
Hsiao, Hsin-Huang Michael / Hui, Yew-Foong / Peycam, Philippe
Focuses on the role of citizens and civil society in the politics of heritage-making, looking at how these players at the grass-roots level make sense of the past in the present. Who are these local players that seek to define the meaning of heritage in their everyday lives? How do they negotiate with the state in determining what their heritage is? These and other questions are taken up in this volume.
