Heritage, Gentrification and Resistance in the Neoliberal City
Hammami, F., Jewesbury, D., & Valli, C. (eds)
What happens when versions of the past become silenced, suppressed or privileged due to urban restructuring? In this volume, the 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, experiences and memories, authors challenge the ‘devaluation’ of their neighbourhoods in official heritage and development narratives.
