“This exciting volume continues a long tradition of scholarship on the politics of heritage, but brings new insights by focusing attention on places, contexts and moments too often ignored in heritage studies. Chapters on Central Asia, Cyprus, Cuba, Bangladesh and Estonia really help to open up debates about the complex appropriations of the past by governments and other actors. The volume valuably contributes to our understanding of the ongoing role the state plays in curating heritage and memory, and the consequences this has for different social actors.” (Tim Winter, Professor of Critical Heritage Studies, University of Western Australia)

“It is really nice to see such interdisciplinary conversation developing between heritage studies and political science. Significantly, this work has a capacity to deliver on the promise of ‘criticality’ within recent research on cultural heritage, through a range of tightly focused case studies that have global appeal.” (David C. Harvey, Professor of Critical Heritage Studies, Aarhus University, Denmark)
