Rezensionen

In this erudite work, Jones synthesizes interdisciplinary theoretical sophistication with meticulously grounded empirical observations, presenting them in accessible prose. Balancing concepts with concrete situations, Heritage is Movement is a timely reminder that heritage is consequential for people's lives in real, tangible ways. The book is written with care for places, for people, for the work of other thinkers, and above all, for the reader. It will be useful for students, academics, and practitioners in heritage studies and cognate fields.
