Heritage processes exhibit significant variation across cultural, national, geographical, and historical contexts. This unique volume stands out as it focuses on analyzing heritage through the lens of social movements. By incorporating the latest advancements in the study of social movements, the chapters explore the creation, utilization, and contentiousness of heritage by a diverse range of official, non-official, and activist actors, as well as the spaces where these ongoing negotiations and contests occur. By integrating social movements into heritage studies, the book advocates for a transformative shift in our understanding of heritage, one that transcends the arbitrary divisions often imposed between the state and the people or between experts and non-experts.
