**********************************
‘Critical Perspectives on Cultural Memory and Heritage’ focuses on the 
importance of memory and heritage for individual and group identity, and 
for their sense of belonging. It aims to expose the motives and 
discourses related to the destruction of memory and heritage during 
times of war, terror, sectarian conflict and through capitalist 
policies. It is within these affected spheres of cultural heritage where 
groups and communities ascribe values, develop memories, and shape their 
collective identity.

Chapters in the volume address cultural memory and heritage from six 
global perspectives and contexts: first, the relationship between 
cultural memory and heritage; second, the effect of urban development 
and large infrastructure on heritage; third, the destruction of 
indigenous heritage; fourth, the destruction of heritage in relation to 
erasing memory during sectarian violence and conflict; fifth, the impact 
of policymaking on cultural heritage assets; and sixth, a broad 
reflection on the destruction, change and transformation of heritage in 
an epilogue by Cornelius Holtorf, archaeologist and Chair of Heritage 
Futures at UNESCO.

The range of sites discussed in the volume – from Australia, Brazil and 
Syria, to Bosnia, the UK and Taiwan – make it essential reading for 
researchers in Museum and Heritage Studies, Archaeology and History 
seeking a global, comprehensive study of cultural memory and heritage.
