Abstract

This special issue examines the mobilization of heritage preservation concerns as part of different processes of construction of tradition in Muslim contexts. Through contributions from archaeological, ethnographic, historical, archival, visual, and discursive analysis in Afghanistan, Ghana, Mali, Bahrain, as well as in museum institutions elsewhere, the discussions in this issue consider where and how heritage value is created, located, and mobilized by Muslims and non-Muslims alike, the management and preservation practices that are deployed to support it, and the ways in which different scholarly disciplines and power structures are implicated in the authorization of different types of preservation of heritage.
