Synopsis:The publication contains three keynote speeches given by Chris Smith, Stuart Hall and Maya Jaggi at the "Whose Heritage?" national conference held in Manchester, 1-3 November 1999. Peter Hewitt, Chief Executive of the Arts Council of England, says in his introduction: "Chris Smith demonstrated a powerful commitment to the notion of a genuinely diverse culture in his opening address (...). Stuart Hall eloquently argued that the concept of heritage must 'include the active production of culture and the arts as a living activity, alongside the conservation of the past'. In Maya Jaggi's words, 'the heritage we construct is not simply a question of inclusion but of perspective and participation'."
