Through a wide range of international and interdisciplinary case
studies, this book develops the notion of legacy, and in
particular, ‘living legacy’– that is, it explores power
relations in the context of time as a means to considering and
challenging social injustice. Legacies of social injustice are very
frequently erased, denied or declared redundant. Framed by the
concept of ‘legacy’, this book does not conceive legacy as
simply referring to relics of the past, or to cultural heritage
practices and artifacts. Instead, the book focuses upon ‘living
legacies’, understood as ongoing, actively engaged in the
re-constitution of power relations, and influential in the
development of alternative political imaginaries. Through a variety
of studies from many different contexts—including Indigenous
trauma in Australia, displacement in Beirut, women travellers in
Scotland, and heteronormativity in Hollywood—the book draws not
only upon historiographic, sociological, legal, political, cultural
and other disciplinary approaches, but also specifically makes use
of feminist and postcolonial perspectives. Foregrounding the
legacies of inequality and marginalisation, it contributes to a
re-thinking of power and social change in ways that together
suggest potential means for unsettling and reimagining such
legacies. This book will appeal to an interdisciplinary range of
readers with interests and concerns in the broad area of social
justice, but especially to those working in sociolegal studies,
sociology, gender studies, indigenous studies and politics.
