Displaced Heritage

<p>The essays in this volume address the displacement of natural and cultural heritage caused by disasters whether they be dramatic natural impacts or terrible events unleashed by humankind including holocaust and genocide. Disasters can be natural or human-made rapid or slow great or small yet the impact is effectively the same; nature people and cultural heritage are displaced or lost. Yet while heritage and place are at risk from disasters in time sites of suffering are sometimes reframed as sites of memory; through this different lens these "difficult" places become heritage sites that attract tourists. Ranging widely chronologically and geographically the contributors explore the impact of disasters trauma and suffering on heritage and sense of place in both theory and practice.<br /><br />Contributors: Kai Erikson Catherine Roberts Philip R.
