Reaching across disciplines and national boundaries, this volume examines\u003cbr\u003ecultural heritage work within the context of both democratic institutions and\u003cbr\u003edemocratic practices, including participatory, deliberative, and direct\u003cbr\u003edemocratic practices. Case studies highlight how democratic politics and\u003cbr\u003ecultural heritage shape, impact, and depend upon one another.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe\u003cbr\u003erising crisis of democracy across the globe brings these dynamics into sharp\u003cbr\u003erelief. The unfinished and fragile nature of democratic politics shines a\u003cbr\u003espotlight on both its shortcomings and its aspirational potential. This is a\u003cbr\u003eparadox that heritage practitioners and stakeholders navigate daily, serving as\u003cbr\u003eboth critics and collaborators of democracy. At the same time that heritage\u003cbr\u003epractice embraces participatory approaches, it must also address the challenge\u003cbr\u003eof reconciling multiple, often unequal, and frequently incompatible claims for\u003cbr\u003econtrol over heritage. Grappling with democracy's crises also increasingly means\u003cbr\u003erecognizing the power of heritage to reinforce or undermine democracy.  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese\u003cbr\u003eessays ask: What are the democratic motives of heritage practice?
