Travelling Pasts, edited by Burkhard Schnepel and Tansen Sen,
offers an innovative exploration of the issue of heritage in the
Indian Ocean world. This collection of essays demonstrates how the
heritagization of the past has played a vital role in processes and
strategies related to the making of socio-cultural identities, the
establishing of political legitimacies, and the pursuit of economic
and geopolitical gains. The contributions range from those dealing
with the impact of UNESCO's World Heritage Convention in the Indian
Ocean world as a whole to those that address the politics of
cultural heritage in various distinct maritime sites such as
Zanzibar, Mayotte, Cape Town, the Maldives, Calcutta and Penang.
Also examined are the Maritime Silk Road and the Project Mausam
initiatives of the Chinese and Indian governments respectively. The
volume is an important contribution to the transdisciplinary fields
on Indian Ocean Studies.
