The Environment between Struggles and Heritage

Abstract

The review presents the edited volume “L’environnenement entre luttes et patrimoine”. This book explores the complex and often conflicting relationship between environmental struggles and heritage-making practices. Bringing together case studies from diverse geographic and cultural contexts, the book examines how environmental issues become sites of contestation, negotiation, and identity formation. It highlights how communities, activists, and institutions navigate the tensions between ecological preservation, cultural values, and political claims, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on the environment as both a field of conflict and a bearer of collective memory.
