This book offers a scholarly perspective on heritage as a
discourse, concept and lived experience in Malaysia. It argues that
heritage is not a received narrative but a construct in the making.
Starting with alternative ways of "museumising" heritage, the book
then addresses a broad range of issues involving multicultural and
folklore heritage, the small town, nostalgia and the environment,
and transnationalism and cosmopolitanism. In so doing it delivers
an intervention in received ways of talking about and "doing"
heritage in academic as well as state and public discourse in
Malaysia, which are largely dominated by perspectives that do not
sufficiently engage with the cultural complexities and
sociopolitical implications of heritage. The book also critically
explores the politics and dynamics of heritage production in
Malaysia to contest "Malaysian heritage" as a stable narrative,
exploring both its cogency and contingency, and builds on a deep
engagement with a non-western society in the service of
"provincialising" critical heritage studies, with the broader goal
of contributing to Malaysian studies.
