This book focuses on the global goal of inclusivity and sustainability in heritage as defined by the United Nations and UNESCO. A detailed Introduction forms a commentary on the state of the field of heritage studies. The book is written by a cross-disciplinary team working in the GLAMA sector. It features contributions on decolonisation in museums and archives, co-production between heritage professionals and communities, the meaning of cultural memory and commemoration in anniversaries and monuments, and innovative uses of digital methods in heritage research. The chapters analyse the practices of the past that have led to power inequities in heritage representation and they stress the importance of multiculturalism for the future through practices such as preservation of Indigenous languages and material culture. Wide-ranging case studies and discussions come from the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States, Canada, Southeast Asia, Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand.
