Making Heritage in Malaysia
«“An invaluable collection of scholarly inquiries into the discourses, politics, and tensions of heritage-making in contemporary Malaysia. … Authored by specialists in literary studies, cultural studies, and history, the eleven chapters in this collection not only ‘provincialise’ critical heritage studies by deploying case studies and perspectives from and of Malaysia, but also direct our attention to the constructed, and contested, nature of race, culture, nation — and heritage.” (Loo Hong Chuang, SARE, Southeast Asian Review of English, Vol. 58 (1), 2021)»
This book offers a scholarly perspective on heritage as a discourse, concept and lived experience in Malaysia. It argues that heritage is not a received narrative but a construct in the making. Starting with alternative ways of "museumising" heritage, the book then addresses a broad range of issues involving multicultural and folklore heritage, the small town, nostalgia and the environment, and transnationalism and cosmopolitanism.
