Heritage has burgeoned over the past quarter of a century from a small elite
preoccupation into a major popular crusade. Everything from Disneyland to
the Holocaust Museum, from the Balkan wars to the Northern Irish Troubles,
from Elvis memorabilia to the Elgin Marbles bears the marks of the cult of her-

obsession with the past and examines its power for both good and evil.
DAV ID L OW E N T H A L is Emeritus Professor of Geography and Honorary
Research Fellow at University College London, and Visiting Professor of
Heritage Studies at St Mary's University College, Strawberry Hill, Twickenham.
He is the author of The Past Is a Foreign Country-
