Staging Indigenous Heritage examines the cultural politics of four
Indigenous cultural villages in Malaysia. Demonstrating that such
villages are often beset with the politics of brokerage and
representation, the book shows that this reinforces a culture of
dependency on the brokers. By critically examining the relationship
between Indigenous tourism and development through the
establishment of Indigenous cultural villages, the book addresses
the complexities of adopting the 'culture for development' paradigm
as a developmental strategy. Demonstrating that the opportunities
for self-representation and self-determination can become entwined
with the politics of brokerage and the contradictory dualism of
culture, it becomes clear that this can both facilitate and
compromise their intended outcomes. Challenging the simplistic
conceptualisation of Indigenous communities as harmonious and
unified wholes, the book shows how Indigenous cultures are actively
forged, struggled over, and negotiated in contemporary Malaysia.
Confronting the largely positive rhetoric in current discourses on
the benefits of community-based cultural projects, Staging
Indigenous Heritage should be essential reading for academics and
students in the fields of museum studies, cultural heritage
studies, Indigenous studies, development studies, tourism,
anthropology, and geography. The book should also be of interest to
museum and heritage professionals around the world.
