"This innovative volume, which draws on a range of perspectives and case studies, demonstrates the synergy of bringing together heritage issues and development studies. The book reveals the myriad ways heritage and development are entangled and challenges the hegemonic practices and assumptions prevalent in each field. The concept of heritage is used to explore conceptualisations and experiences of ‘progress’ to challenge colonial practices in the Global South. I recommend this book to development and heritage studies scholars and practitioners interested in understanding how social and economic change is managed through appeals to the past that envisage productive and equitable futures."Laurajane Smith, Director, Centre for Heritage and Museum Studies, the Australian National University, Canberra
