Review: "The Politics of Heritage brings together leading cultural critics, practitioners, policy makers and curators to explore the processes of heritage formation, focusing on issues of 'race' and ethnicity. Analysing both theory and practice, the book is concerned with understanding how 'heritage' changes and develops, and with exploring problems and possibilities for the future."--Jacket.
