Or whilst UNESCO deems ephemeral sand drawings to be "intangible cultural heritage"? In Treasured Possessions, Haidy Geismar examines how worldwide varieties of cultural and highbrow estate are being redefined by way of daily humans and policymakers in markedly diverse Pacific international locations. the recent Hebrides, a small archipelago in Melanesia controlled together by means of Britain and France until eventually 1980, is now the self reliant countryside of Vanuatu, with a inhabitants that's greater than ninety five percentage indigenous.

They exhibit highbrow and cultural estate to be not just felony constructs but in addition robust methods of exclaiming indigenous identities and sovereignties.
