About this ebook
When questions of belonging enter the forefront of political debates, so too does heritage. This volume draws critical voices from archaeology, anthropology and the classics into a conversation about political uses of the past in times of radical right populism. The authors show how ancient monuments and sites, bygone eras and political regimes, and even your genetic ancestry, can become wrapped up in polarized political debates. They also highlight how heritage, which is often thought of as a common good, can be dangerous in times of political polarization – erasing nuances between ‘us’ and ‘them’. Together, the texts pave the way for a better understanding of the political role of heritage in society.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5An absolutely worthless collection of unsubstantiated blogpost-level screeds scribbled by hard left wing militants infesting Academia babbling about "far right" and lamenting the fact that their hegemony isn't exactly 100% because the people of Hungary and Italy had the audacity to reject their sort of infantile multi-culti communist politics and elected sensible centrists instead
