Imagining Homeland: Palmyra's (in)tangible heritage and the voices of displacement
This volume is a monograph documenting the virtual reconstruction projects of the Temple of Baalshamin, one of the most significant forms of tangible heritage belonging to the Syrian community, destroyed as a result of terrorist attacks.
