Abstract
In this monograph review, I examine how Esposito contextualizes, conceptualizes, problematizes, and operationalizes her work and present herkey arguments, as well asmy reflections. Thisbook walks us through the emergence of the ‘heritage and non-heritage space’conceptsthat havebeen promoted inmany cities in Southeast Asia and internationally. The dominant trend in Cambodia is for urban studies scholarship to focus on the capital city of Phnom Penh;including key issues such asland conflicts (Springer, 2015), real estate development(Fauveaud, 2014), and the eviction of the urban poor (McGinn, 2013)to makeway for the development of modern high-rise buildingsand satellite cities (Tom, 2016; Nam, 2017;and Yamada, 2018). However, in this book the authorproblematizes rapid urban transformation in Siem Reap. She shifts our attention towards thesecond largest city inCambodia,whichattractsmore than two million foreign tourists eachyear (Esposito 2018:48).
