Heritage has burgeoned over the past quarter of a century from a small
élite 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 heritage. In this acclaimed 1998 book
David Lowenthal explains the rise of this obsession with the past and
examines its power for both good and evil.
