Reviews

A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012 'Internationalist in its scope, this timely and imaginative volume offers thoughtful analyses of ordinary people creating their own histories and heritage. This is a welcome addition to the growing body of work criticising conventional approaches to heritage. The collection provides engaging insights for public historians and heritage practitioners alike.' Hilda Kean, former Dean and Director of Public History, Ruskin College, Oxford, UK 'Heritage from Below reminds us that heritage is much more than the usual castles and palaces, it includes the ordinary and the mundane which often transmit the voices of the dispossessed.' Gregory Ashworth, University of Groningen, The Netherlands 'Heritage from Below is a stimulating mix of interdisciplinary and international scholars whose contributions advance debate in critical heritage studies. They offer a considered challenge to the Authorized Heritage Discourse, and illustrate the importance of heritage expressions that attempt to counter hegemonic and consensus constructions of heritage. The authors each provide thought-provoking arguments that affirm and demonstrate the role of heritage in contemporary political struggles.' Laurajane Smith, Australian National University, Canberrra, Australia
