Heritage practices often lead to social exclusion, as such
practices can favor certain values over others. In some cases,
exclusion from a society's symbolic landscape can spark
controversy, or rouse emotion so much so that they result in
cultural contestation. Examples of this abound, but few studies
explicitly analyze the role of government in these instances. In
this volume, scholars from a variety of academic backgrounds
examine the various and often conflicting roles governments play in
these processes-and governments do play a role. They act as authors
and authorizers of the symbolic landscape, from which societal
groups may feel excluded. Yet, they also often attempt to bring
parties together and play a mitigating role.
