The Palgrave Encyclopedia of Cultural Heritage and Conflict

This interdisciplinary encyclopedia brings together scholars from different disciplines across the humanities and social sciences to provide the state of the art and most comprehensive overview of theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of cultural heritage and conflict.

The encyclopedia covers the fields of heritage and memory studies, cultural studies, museum studies, arts and media, literature, semiotics and performative studies, postcolonial studies, ethnology and anthropology, Holocaust and genocide studies, conflict and identity studies, archaeology and material culture studies, landscapes, conservation and restoration, cultural, public and oral history, critical and digital heritage studies.

Editors are:

  • Ihab Saloul, Founder and Research Director of the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture (AHM) and Professor of Memory and Narrative at the University of Amsterdam.
  • Britt Baillie, Assistant Professor, University of Aarhus and a Panel Tutor, University of Cambridge.

 

Although this book covers much, much more than cultural heritage during colonial conflicts, it contains several items on colonial collections and restitution.
