What is the role of cultural heritage in multi-ethnic societies,
where cultural memory is often polarized by antagonistic identity
traditions? Is it possible for monuments that are generally
considered as a symbol of national unity to become emblems of the
conflictual histories still undermining divided societies? Taking
as a starting point the cosmopolitanism that blossomed across the
Mediterranean in the age of empires, this book addresses the issue
of heritage exploring the concepts of memory, culture, monuments
and their uses, in different case studies ranging from 19th-century
Salonica, Port Said, the Palestinian region under Ottoman rule,
Trieste and Rijeka under the Hapsburgs, up to the recent post-war
reconstructions of Beirut and Sarajevo.
