Beschreibung

This book uncovers the rich heritage of borderlands. At the border, people exist in-between, whether they live their lives at the near boundaries, or whether they are just passing through, as travelers or tourists.

The heritage of these spaces is a vast collection of remnants and reminiscences, defined by memory, preservation, and geopolitics at the margins. It is at once a heritage of borders, and the bordering of heritage. This book defines border heritage as a realization, valuation, and manifestation of this being and belonging in-between: a form of heritage bordered by the politics of inclusion and exclusion of the various authorities of states, heritage organizations, communities, and tourism agencies. Richly illustrated with case studies and examples drawn from around the world, the book considers post-colonial border heritage, the growing pursuit of border heritage tourism, a new agenda for border wall studies, the continuing politics of legacy, the temporal cycles and rhythms in border heritage, and the heritage of border culture endurance, recurrence, and revival.

Bringing together a wide range of spatial and temporal approaches to border heritage, this book will be perfect for researchers and students of border and heritage studies, as well as professionals specializing in heritage management or tourism.
