This book is about the way that professionals in archaeology and in
other sectors of heritage interact with a range of stakeholder
groups, communities and the wider public. Whilst these issues have
been researched and discussed over many years and in many
geographical contexts, the debate seems to have settled into a
comfortable stasis wherein it is assumed that all that can be done
by way of engagement has been done and there is little left to
achieve. In some cases, such engagement is built on legislation or
codes of ethics and there can be little doubt that it is an
important and significant aspect of heritage policy. This book is
different, however, because it questions not so much the
motivations of heritage professionals but the nature of the
engagement itself, the extent to which this is collaborative or
contested and the implications this has for the communities
concerned. Furthermore, in exploring these issues in a variety of
contexts around the world, it recognises that heritage provides a
source of engagement within communities that is separate from
professional discourse and can thus enable them to find voices of
their own in the political processes that concern them and affect
their development, identity and well-being. This book was published
as a special issue of the International Journal of Heritage
Studies.
