Research output: Contribution to book or proceedingChapter

Abstract

Georgia Southern University faculty member Amy E. Potter co-authored "Unfinished Geographies: Women’s Roles in Shaping African American Historical Counter Narratives" alongside non-faculty member Matthew R. Cook in After Heritage: Critical Perspectives on Heritage from Below.

Book Summary: Focusing on the practices and politics of heritage-making at the individual and the local level, this book uses a wide array of international case studies to argue for their potential not only to disrupt but also to complement formal heritage-making in public spaces. Providing a much-needed clarion call to reinsert the individual as well as the transient into more collective heritage processes and practices, this strong contribution to the field of Critical Heritage Studies offers insight into benefits of the ‘heritage from below approach’ for researchers, policy makers and practitioners.
