Critical Heritage and Social Justice: Redistribution, Recognition and Representation in Context

The first edited volume in the field of heritage to conceptualize and contextualize social justice in depth, both theoretically and through practical applications.

In this edited volume, scholars and practitioners working across heritage, museums, galleries, and cultural institutions explore how principles of social justice can be embedded within these spaces. Highlighting intersections between critical heritage studies and urgent global challenges, the book seeks to foster inclusive, community-engaged heritage practices. Applying Nancy Fraser's theory of three-dimensional justice--redistribution, recognition, and representation--within the context of heritage studies, the authors reflect on global social, cultural, political, and environmental issues through an interdisciplinary heritage-focused approach.
