Rezensionen

"This very timely book opens doors to heritage making as a political process. With a focus on China and local political processes, it will reorient and illuminate the way in which heritage theorists regard the value of heritage."

--Prof Michael Rowlands. University College London

"It is a highly recommended read for anyone who has an interest in cultural heritage, especially in the context of mainland China."
