David Lowenthal - The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History
Posted on 2010-05-16
|  |
More Heritage, while it often constitutes and defines the most positive aspects of culture, is a malleable body of historical text subject to interpretation and easily twisted into myth. When it is appealed to on a national or ethnic level in reactions against racial, religious, or economic oppression, the result is often highly-charged political contention or conflict. The extraordinary theme of this unique book is how the rise of a manifold, crusade-like obsession with tradition and inheritance--both physical and cultural--can lead to either good or evil. In a balanced account of the pros and cons of the rhetoric and spoils of heritage--on the one hand cultural identity and unity, on the other, potential holy war--David Lowenthal discusses the myriad uses and abuses of historical appropriation and offers a rare and accessible account of a concept at once familiar and fraught with complexity. David Lowenthal is Emeritus Professor of Geography at University College London, and the author of the bestselling The Past is a Foreign Country (Cambridge, 1985) - A brilliant, wide-ranging and entertaining general study of the ‘heritage industry’ - Written by David Lowenthal, the very successful and acclaimed author of the well-known book The Past is a Foreign Country (1985) - First published by Penguin Group (in their Viking imprint, 1997) and now available for the first time in paperback Download:
