Unveiling hidden heritage: Narratives, politics, and agency
How to make sense of hidden heritage and the stories we tell about it? From benign neglect to censorship in times of persecution, hidden layers, buried stories, and other silenced heritage phenomena are widespread. This book points to the substantive concerns involved, ranging from heritage politics and nationalism to new geopolitical configurations and tourism spectacles that render heritage visible, valuable, and consumable. It is rarely only found in the monumental, but more often constituted by small acts, objects, and phenomena that come into existence between or beneath the lines of official heritage discourse.
