Description

Explore the complexities of heritage revivalism with Return to Alexandria by Beverley Butler. Part of the UCL Institute of Archaeology Critical Cultural Heritage Series, this scholarly work examines the launch of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a major project led by UNESCO and the Egyptian government to recreate the ancient world's legendary library and Museion. Butler provides a detailed ethnography that examines the contradictions surrounding the project. The book analyzes how the timing of the library's construction coincided with a global shift in scholarship away from Western dominance. It also investigates how the project prioritized Alexandria's Greek heritage over 1500 years of Islamic scholarship and created a cultural space for the elite within an urban slum area. This text is an essential resource for students and professionals interested in museum memory, the politics of cultural heritage, and the social impact of large-scale architectural and educational projects. It offers a deep look into how history is reconstructed and the challenges faced when attempting to revive ancient cultural identities in a modern context.
