Thirty years after the signing of the World Heritage Convention, this collection of 17 articles addresses the increased mobility, advances in communications, and intensification of market forces that have, in essence, converted people, cultures, places and environments into commodities. What the locals perceive about certain heritage destinations may be entirely different than that which tourists bring to or take from their experience. Topics include contested narratives and heritages, producing heritage for sale ("huddled masses yearning to buy postcards"), post-colonialism, and a call for a holistic conceptual approach. Commentary includes observations from various sites, including the US, Lebanon, Vietnam, Mesoamerica, Peru, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia and other locations.
