Reviews
'The contributors capture precisely that which is different about heritage in the UAE. It is not about the past; it is about the present and the future. Emirati heritage is being created now and those of us working in the UAE appreciate just how dynamic and often politically charged the process of creation can be.' Jane Bristol-Rhys, Zayed University, UAE 'The book is a fresh and timely contribution to the understanding of the cultural and political dynamics connecting the Gulf States with Western museums and cultural heritage. It allows the reader to discover the variegated Arabian heritage landscapes where Islamic references, cosmopolitanism, Euro-American models and local history intermingle producing unexpected formations.' Irene Maffi, University of Lausanne, Switzerland '... this volume offers a well-thought-out thesis about the nature of heritage development on the Arabian Peninsula ...'
