This book makes a compelling case for placing the social and legal
practices of inheritance centre stage to make sense of fundamental
questions of our time. Drawing on historical, literary,
sociological, and legal analysis, this rich collection of original,
interdisciplinary and international contributions demonstrates how
inheritance is and has always been about far more than the set of
legal processes for the distribution of wealth and property upon
death. The contributions range from exploring the intractable
tensions underlying family disputes and the legal and political
debates about taxation, to revisiting literary plots in the past
and presenting a contemporary artistic challenge of heirship. With
an introduction that presents a critical mapping of the field of
inheritance studies, this collection reveals the complexity of
ideas about ‘passing on’, ‘legacies’, and ‘heirlooms’;
troubles some of the enduring consequences of ‘charitable
bequests’, ‘family money’, and ‘estate planning; and,
deepens our understanding of the intimate and political practices
of inheritance.
Canada likes to present itself as a paragon of gay rights. This
book contends that Canada's acceptance of gay rights, while being
beneficial to some, obscures and abets multiple forms of oppression
to the detriment and exclusion of some queer and trans bodies.
Disrupting Queer Inclusion seeks to unsettle the assumption that
inclusion equals justice. Offering a fresh analysis of the
complexity of queer politics and activism, contributors detail how
the fight for acceptance engenders complicity in a system that
fortifies white supremacy, furthers settler colonialism, advances
neoliberalism, and props up imperialist mythologies.
