Forging Heritage in the Nation-State: The Political Production of Oblivion - Explorations in Heritage Studies
Michael Herzfeld
Nation-states use heritage to project cultural unity and commemorate nationally significant events. In appearing to commemorate, however, heritage often obliterates the memory of how national identity was forged. Drawing on extensive ethnographic material, Michael Herzfeld connects the idea of heritage back to the social practices associated with inheritance.
