This book is about the entanglement of heritage and resistance in
different situations of conflicts, and the opportunities this
entanglement may provide for social justice. This entanglement is
investigated in the different contributions through theoretical and
empirical analyses of heritage-led resistance to neoliberal
economic development, violation of the subaltern, authorised
narratives and state-invented traditions, colonialism and settler
colonialism, and even dominating discourses of social movement, to
name just a few. Crossing the disciplinary boundaries of heritage
and resistance studies, these analyses bring new insights into
several timely debates, especially those concerned with the
interrelated critical questions of displacement, gentrification,
exclusion, marginalization, urbicide, spatial cleansing,
dehumanization, alienation, ethnic cleansing and social injustice.
Following our purposeful and future-driven approach, we wish to
bring new energy to the field of heritage studies through the focus
on the potential of heritage and resistance for hopeful change
rather than adding to the field yet another overwhelming engagement
with conflict and war.

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.
