Wyndham argues that a particular configuration of heritage and politics has emerged after the destruction of the Buddhas at Bamyan and demonstrates how the characteristics of this ‘post-Bamyan’ heritage paradigm are revealed through a number of case studies of internationally sponsored heritage work. These case studies reveal how politics and heritage are currently configured across a diverse range of governments, state and non-state actors, NGOs, individuals and forms of expertise—and why such intersections matter. The book responds to a call from across the discipline of Heritage Studies to look more closely at the relationships between heritage, power and politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA New Politics of Heritage Reconstruction in Afghanistan\u003c\/i\u003e provides a fascinating case study on the intersection of heritage and politics that will be of interest to students and scholars of heritage, as well as to professionals working on heritage preservation - both within and outside of government.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56434703597942,"sku":"9781032573625","price":54.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36640845_ebdafae3-a074-4103-a6fc-fa4d4118bb85.jpg?v=1760577950","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032573625-new-politics-of-heritage-reconstruction","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
