Review Quotes:
"This is an excellent book that makes a crucial scholarly contribution in an understudied subject area. It makes a strong and nuanced argument for reinserting a focus on the built environment to critical heritage studies." - Andrew Johnston, University of Virginia
"This is an excellent collection that opens many avenues for further research. The chapters draw on a range of disciplinary writings as well as more theoretical conceptual critics... (and) the authors are truly knowledgeable concerning the work on migration studies." - Snjea Gunew, University of British Columbia
