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\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","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57583013101950,"sku":"NW9781032573625","price":53.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032573625.jpg?v=1785152427","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/new-politics-of-heritage-reconstruction","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
