It serves as a rich source for understanding the history, values and norms of a group of certain people. Groups and communities ascribe values, develop memories, and shape their collective identity within these affected spheres of cultural heritage. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the global perspectives on cultural memory and heritage. Students, researchers, experts, and all associated with heritage studies, archaeology, and history will benefit alike from this book.
