Around the world, struggles about the right to determine the uses of ancient sites, museum objects, historic structures, and traditional cultures are being fought out. This innovative and wide-ranging collection of essays describes various means of preserving, protecting and presenting vital cultural resources within the context of economic development, competing claims of "ownership" of particular cultural resources, modern uses of structures and space, and other aspects of late twentieth-century life.

Francis P. McManamon is the Chief Archaeologist of the US National Park Service.
