Large-scale disasters mobilize heritage professionals to a
narrative of heritage-at-risk and a standardized set of processes
to counter that risk. Trinidad Rico's critical ethnography analyses
heritage practices in the aftermath of the tsunami that swamped
Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in 2004 and the post-destruction narratives
that accompanied it, showing the sociocultural, historical, and
political agendas these discourses raise. Countering the typical
Western ideology and practice of ameliorating heritage-at-risk were
local, post-colonial trajectories that permitted the community to
construct its own meaning of heritage. This book documents the
emergence of local heritage places, practices, and debates
countering the globalized versions embraced by the heritage
professions offering a critical paradigm for post-destruction
planning and practice that incorporates alternative models of
heritage. Constructing Deconstruction will be of value to scholars,
professionals, and advanced students in Heritage Studies,
Anthropology, Geography, and Disaster Studies.
