Review Quotes:
"This book has successfully articulated the theoretical and empirical issues of 'archaeologizing' heritage beyond specific time and place; at the same time it stimulates readers to consider the importance of intangible or spiritual and socio-economic dimensions of the 'living heritage' approach and reminds us of the existence of a fertile ground for debates on the notion and practice of heritage."
