Abordagens e experiências na preservação do patrimônio cultural nas Américas e Península Ibérica
O livro é resultado do trabalhos de profissionais que atuam em diferentes áreas do patrimônio cultural nas Américas e Península Ibérica, movidos por interesses, trajetórias e contextos distintos, que se entrelaçam em momentos e encerram causas comuns e consensos, dos quais destaca-se o valor central que é o compartilhamento de suas experiências, práticas e conhecimentos; a compreensão comum de que a preservação e a valorização do patrimônio cultural pressupõem aprender e avançar juntos, solidariamente; e a percepção, que se transforma em responsabilidade, do quanto toda a humanidade pode ser afetada a partir da perda de um bem ou de uma manifestação cultural local.
