Examining international case studies including USA, Asia,
Australia and New Zealand, Laurajane Smith identifies and explores
the use of heritage throughout the world.
Challenging the idea that heritage value is self-evident, and
that things must be preserved because they have an inherent
importance, Smith forcefully demonstrates that heritage value is
not inherent in physical objects or places, but rather that these
objects and places are used to give tangibility to the values that
underpin different communities and to assert and affirm these
values.
A practically grounded accessible examination of heritage as a
cultural practice, The Uses of Heritage is global in its benefit to
students and field professionals alike.
