We recently received this great endorsement for our forthcoming book "Heritage Creation in Tourism: Newly Constructed Ancient Towns in China" by Chujun Wang:

"One of the most significant contributions of this insightful and thought-provoking book is its critical introspection on the future-oriented dimensions of heritage, encouraging readers to reconsider how heritage is imagined, created, and sustained. This is a timely, theoretically grounded, and empirically rich work that will stimulate further debate on heritage sustainability, power relations, cultural evolution, and the future of heritage tourism." ~ Deepak Chhabra, Arizona State University, Phoenix, USA
