Abstract
First paragraph: This book offers a comprehensive history and a welcome critical reflection on the role of culture, including heritage, in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this book, Professor Sophia Labadi demonstrates marginalizing heritage from the SDGs has resulted in a lack of progress in addressing global challenges of poverty reduction, gender equality and environmental sustainability, despite United Nations’ policy recommendations emphasizing culture and heritage’s importance as drivers and enablers of development.
