Heritage Values in Contemporary Society
Edited by George Smith, Phyllis Mauch Messenger, and Hilary Soderland
January 2010, 224 pages, $36.95 Paper
"The discussion of heritage values in this book speaks to the socially
responsible development of a global world. Accordingly, I commend this
volume to students, teachers, practitioners and members of the public. This
book will assist professionals ranging from lawyers and anthropologists to
cultural heritage managers and archaeologists as they grapple with the
diverse ways that people value their heritage."
- From the Foreword by Claire Smith, President, World Archaeological
Congress
What do we value about the past? In formulating policies about heritage
preservation, that is the inevitable question, and deals not only with
economic value but also the intangible value to individuals, communities and
society as a whole. This interdisciplinary group of
scholars—anthropologists, archaeologists, architects, educators, lawyers,
heritage administrators, policy analysts, and consultants—make the first
attempt to define and assess heritage values on a local, national and global
level. Chapters range from the theoretical to policy frameworks to case
studies of heritage practice, written by scholars from eight countries.
