商品描述

This book provides a unique, in-depth look at three Indigenous World Heritage sites in Canada and their use for Indigenous empowerment and community development. Based on extensive ethnographic field studies and comprehensive narrative interviews, it shows how the three First Nation communities presented in the case studies enforce recognition of their collective rights to preserve their cultural heritage and assert their right to political, economic, cultural, and social self-determination. It also considers the prevailing universalistic discourses around World Heritage and the various ways in which they serve to either reinforce existing oppressive conditions regarding Indigenous communities and voices or provide opportunities to overcome them. The book will be of interest to scholars and students working on social and cultural histories, histories of colonialism, and in heritage and museum studies.

本書提供了對加拿大三個原住民世界遺產地的獨特深入探討，以及它們在原住民賦權和社區發展中的應用。基於廣泛的民族誌田野研究和全面的敘事訪談，本書展示了案例研究中三個原住民族社區如何強調對其集體權利的認可，以保護其文化遺產並主張其在政治、經濟、文化和社會自決方面的權利。本書還考慮了圍繞世界遺產的普遍主義話語及其如何在不同程度上加強對原住民社區和聲音的壓迫條件，或提供克服這些條件的機會。本書將吸引從事社會和文化歷史、殖民歷史以及遺產和博物館研究的學者和學生。
