Trinidad Rico - Local expertise? A postcolonial history of heritage and preservation in Qatar

What does it mean to study 'locally-grown' heritage traditions Responding to postcolonial calls in the field of heritage studies for more diverse, inclusive, and situated or localized approaches to heritage and preservation, I address the rise of a heritage preservation tradition in Qatar as an example of resistance to a monolithic universal heritage ethos by what was once a ‘marginal’ player. Through an examination of the history of heritage expertise, from its earliest interactions with

foreign experts to the meteoric growth of Qatar’s heritage industry and advocacy for global heritage, I propose a historical approach to identifying, circulating, and authenticating local voices in the study and management of heritage.
