Heritage has burgeoned over the past quarter of a century from a small elite preoccupation into a major popular crusade. Everything from Disneyland to the Holocaust Museum, from the Balkan wars to the Northern Irish Troubles, from Elvis memorabilia to the Elgin Marbles bears the marks of the cult of her- itage. In this acclaimed book David Lowenthal explains the rise of this new obsession with the past and examines its power for both good and evil.
