Summary

This chapter provides a critical review of the vast literature on cultural heritage that scholars have produced over the past roughly two decades. Global and cross-cultural in scope, it will consider similarities and differences in the discourses across disciplines and national, ethnic, regional traditions. Material inheritances and heirlooms are among the “material memories” for exegesis in this exploration of the ways that diverse social groups “remember” who they are.
