Mapping out emerging areas for global cultural heritage, this book
provides an anthropological perspective on the growing field of
heritage studies. Kathryn Lafrenz Samuels adopts a dual
focus--looking back on the anthropological foundations for cultural
heritage research while looking forward to areas of practice that
reach beyond national borders: economic development, climate
action, democratic practice, heritage rights, and global justice.
Working around the traditional authority of the nation-state and
intergovernmental treaty-based organizations such as UNESCO, these
issues characterize heritage activity in transnational networks.
Lafrenz Samuels argues that transnational heritage involves an
important shift from a paradigm of preservation to a paradigm of
development. Responding to this expanding developmental
sensibility, she positions cultural heritage as a persuasive tool
for transformative action, capable of mobilizing and shaping social
change. She shows how anthropological approaches help support the
persuasive power of heritage in the transnational sphere.
