Resumo:

On the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the UNESCO 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean launched an extensive reflection on the achievements and challenges of the Convention along this period, focusing on regional subjects, practices and perceptions. This book, putting together contributions from experts of more than 15 countries, provides a sample of the sophistication and cohesion of Latin American and Caribbean heritage studies. The texts came from seminars organised by GRULAC, both in Paris, at the UNESCO headquarters, and in Lima, at the Regional Centre for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Latin America (CRESPIAL), a UNESCO Category 2 Centre. The reflections produced show a remarkable progress in raising awareness of the importance of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in the region. At the same time, the compiled texts show that a lot remains to be done. Living heritage around the world is still under considerable threat, demanding renewed preservation efforts, with special attention to environmental and economic factors.
