Heritage, Gentrification and Resistance in the Neoliberal City, Hardback Book

Heritage, Gentrification and Resistance in the Neoliberal City Hardback

Edited by Feras Hammami, Daniel Jewesbury, Chiara Valli

Part of the Explorations in Heritage Studies series

Hardback

Description

What happens when versions of the past become silenced, suppressed, or privileged due to urban restructuring?

In what ways are the interpretations and performances of ‘the past’ linked to urban gentrification, marginalization, displacement, and social responses?

Authors explore a variety of attempts to interrupt and interrogate urban restructuring, and to imagine alternative forms of urban organization, produced by diverse coalitions of resisting groups and individuals.

Armed with historical narratives, oral histories, objects, physical built environment, memorials, and intangible aspects of heritage that include traditions, local knowledge and experiences, memories, authors challenge the ‘devaluation’ of their neighborhoods in official heritage and development narratives.
