Description

Counterheritage challenges the Eurocentric assumptions that dominate heritage conservation practice across Asia, offering a critical examination of how local knowledge and popular beliefs are often overlooked in favour of external expertise. Written by an archaeologist bridging fieldwork and academic study, this volume critiques the tendency to position heritage practitioners and governments as educators of local communities, rather than recognising the deep cultural understanding that underpins how people genuinely engage with material heritage. Part of the Routledge Studies in Heritage series, the book presents a forthright investigation into the disconnect between top-down conservation models and the lived heritage practices embedded in Asian communities, providing essential reading for heritage professionals, archaeologists, and scholars seeking to decolonise heritage discourse and build more culturally responsive conservation frameworks.

Key Features

Authored by an experienced archaeologist with dual expertise in heritage practice and academic heritage studies, bridging fieldwork and theoretical scholarship.

Challenges Eurocentric approaches to heritage conservation by prioritising local-popular beliefs and practices that form the foundation of community engagement with the material past.

Part of the Routledge Studies in Heritage series, establishing it within a rigorous scholarly tradition of heritage research and critical analysis.

Offers practical critique of how heritage practitioners and governments often impose external education frameworks rather than learning from local conservation knowledge and traditions.

Addresses the responsibility of heritage professionals to educate themselves about cultural contexts before attempting to guide local conservation efforts.
