Summary: Challenge of the traditional Western definitions of heritage, that focus on material and monumental forms of 'old', or aesthetically pleasing, tangible heritage, which are all too often used to promote a consensual view of both the past and the present. An alternative conception of heritage is developed which establishes and develops themes of memory, performance, identity, intangibility, dissonance and place. Book review by H. Dicks published in: Museum and society. 5(2007)1(March.58-59).
