Omschrijving
'Laurence Gouriévidis has provided a brilliant study of the Highland Clearances as interpreted by museums. She shows how complex are the motives for memorialisation, how difficult the achievement, and how ambiguous the notions of "heritage" or, indeed, of dispassionate history. It is a welcome breath of fresh air in Scottish historical and cultural studies.' Chris Smout, University of St Andrews, UK 'With sustained interest in the history of the Clearances comes responsibility for their interpretation and (re)presentation. Drawing on a wide range of local museums as sites of interpretation, and elegantly blending insight from literature, museology, heritage studies and historical scholarship, Laurie Gouriévidis convincingly demonstrates the potency of the past and the power of collective memory in shaping present and future meanings around notions of land, home, belonging and identity.' Charles W. J. Withers, University of Edinburgh, UK '... The Dynamics of Heritage presents an excellent academic analysis of the theoretical concerns that underpin our (re)presentations of the past, which will prove a useful case study for other researchers.'
