Cultural Heritages as Reflexive Traditions cover

Drawing on anthropological fieldwork, this book presents case studies illustrating the re-conceptualization of heritages and traditions in selected locations in Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe. The authors review the importance of oral traditions as markers of identity and consider competing narratives of heritage in postcolonial societies.

'...a well-organised, deftly-edited and professionally-produced volume which incorporates both interesting ethnography and intriguing analytic insights in a way which should provoke further ideas for research into the anthropology of heritage and tradition.' - Irish Journal of Anthropology
