"This is a volume of many strengths, but the greatest of these is its optimism, which is best expressed by the number of powerful case-studies that unequivocally convey the continued importance of cultural heritage in supporting societies of mixed origin."Emily Hanscam, Durham University, UK"This compilation brings important questions about migration, diversity, cultural heritage, and society into better focus. The chapters examine in different ways what may happen to cultural heritage when cultural identities collide and merge but also what may happen to people and their cultural lives. Overall, the approach is refreshing in that it seeks to apply the idea of “New Heritage” to deeply rooted notions of culture, ethnicity, nationality, and belonging, and demonstrate how these notions are challenged by mass movement and new ideas and uses of the past. There is an urgent need for critical analysis of this topic, as well as practical solutions, and here the book makes a clear contribution."Carolina Jonsson Malm, Malmö University Sweden
