Heritage Politics in China: The Power of the Past studies the
impact of heritage policies and discourses on the Chinese state and
Chinese society. It sheds light on the way Chinese heritage
policies have transformed the narratives and cultural practices of
the past to serve the interests of the present. As well as
reinforcing a collective social identity, heritage in China has
served as an instrument of governance and regulation at home and a
tool to generate soft power abroad. Drawing on a critical analysis
of heritage policies and laws, empirical case studies and
interviews with policymakers, practitioners, and local communities,
the authors off er a comprehensive perspective on the role that
cultural heritage plays in Chinese politics and policy. They argue
that heritage-making appropriates international, national, and
local values, thereby transforming it into a public good suitable
for commercial exploitation. By framing heritage as a site of
cooperation, contestation, and negotiation, this book contributes
to our understanding of the complex nature of heritage in the
rapidly shifting landscape of contemporary China. Heritage Politics
in China: The Power of the Past is essential reading for academics,
researchers and students in the fi elds of heritage studies,
cultural studies, Asian studies, anthropology, tourism and
politics.
