Border Straddling Heritages

Containment, Contestation, and Appreciation of Shared Pasts

288 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The twin effects of ever-increasing mobility and rising globalization have done much to dislodge formerly stable social relations and our sense of time and place. In this exacting and geographically wide-ranging reassessment of the overlap between borders and heritage, Ali Mozaffari and David C. Harvey interrogate how this "hyperglobalization" has simultaneously challenged and intensified notions of sovereignty and nationality. Ranging from the impact of empathy in border-heritage work, to the Europeanization of war heritage narratives and border-heritage complexes in the Middle East, this volume illuminates the methodological implications of viewing heritage as both an engagement with the borders of the past and an activity that continually creates them.
