Using the example of China's Wutai Shan-recently designated both a
UNESCO World Heritage site and a national park-Robert J. Shepherd
analyzes Chinese applications of western notions of heritage
management within a non-western framework. What does the concept of
world heritage mean for a site practically unheard of outside of
China, visited almost exclusively by Buddhist religious pilgrims?
What does heritage preservation mean for a site whose intrinsic
value isn't in its historic buildings or cultural significance, but
for its sacredness within the Buddhist faith? How does a society
navigate these issues, particularly one where open religious
expression has only recently become acceptable? These questions and
more are explored in this book, perfect for students and
practitioners of heritage management looking for a new perspective.
