Maritime heritage landscapes are undergoing a period of unprecedented crisis: these areas are severely impacted by coastal development, continued population growth and climate change. Indigenous heritage sites are thought to be particularly vulnerable to these changes and cultural resource management is frequently positioned as a community’s first line of defense, yet there is increasing evidence that this archaeological technique is an ineffective means of protection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExploring themes of colonial dislocation and displacement, Hutchings positions North American archaeology as neoliberal statecraft: a tool of government designed to promote and permit the systematic clearance of Indigenous heritage landscapes in advance of economic development. Presenting the institution of archaeology and cultural resource management as a grave threat to Indigenous maritime heritage, \u003cem\u003eMaritime Heritage in Crisis\u003c\/em\u003e offers an important lesson on the relationship between neoliberal heritage regimes and global ecological breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Left Coast Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255500788056,"sku":"9781629583471","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781629583471.jpg?v=1779170462","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/maritime-heritage-in-crisis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
