While 'social inclusion' and 'cultural diversity' circulate
frenetically as buzzwords, are we really ready to accept that ideas
about 'race' and 'ethnicity', rather than being a peripheral
concern, are at the core of how a nation's heritage is represented
and imagined? This book interrogates just whose past gets to count
as part of 'British heritage'. Bringing together a wide range of
contributors, including academics, practitioners, policy makers and
curators, it examines how many different of types of heritage -
from football to stately homes, experience attractions to education
- deal with the complex legacies of the idea of 'race'. Whether
exploring the fallout of colonialism, the domination of 'England'
over the other three nations, holocaust memorials, or the way
British heritage is negotiated overseas, a recurring theme of this
book is the need to accept that Britain has always been a place of
shifting ethnicities, shaped by waves of migration, diaspora and
globalisation. Analysing both theory and practice, this book is
concerned with understanding the processes through which changes to
heritage happens, and with exploring problems and possibilities for
the future.
