Description

This edited collection challenges and re-imagines what is ‘heritage’ in Britain as a globalised, vernacular, cosmopolitan ‘post-nation’. It takes its inspiration from the foundational work of public intellectual Stuart Hall (1932–2014). Hall was instrumental in calling out embedded elitist conceptions of ‘The Heritage’ of Britain. The book’s authors challenge us to reconsider what is valued about Britain’s past, its culture and its citizens. Populist discourses around the world, including Brexit and ‘culture war’ declarations in the UK, demonstrate how heritage and ideas of the past are mobilised in racist politics. The multidisciplinary chapters of this book offer critical inspections of these politics and dig deeply into the problems of theory, policy and practice in today’s academia, society and heritage sector. The volume challenges the lack of action since Hall rebuked ‘The Heritage’ twenty years ago. The authors featured here are predominantly Black Britons, academics and practitioners engaged in culture and heritage, spurred by the killing of George Floyd and the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement to contest racist practices and structures that support them. This fact alone makes the volume a unique addition to the Routledge Museum & Heritage Studies repertoire. The primary audience will be academics, but it will also attract culture sector practitioners and heritage institutions. However, the book is particularly aimed at scholars and community members who identify as Black and are centrally concerned with questions of identity and race in British society. Its Open Access status will facilitate access to the book by all groups in society.

Author Biography:

Susan L. T. Ashley is Associate Professor in Creative and Cultural Industries at Northumbria University, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. Her research looks at what, how and why heritage knowledge is created, shaped, communicated and consumed in the public sphere. The collaborations that supported Dr Ashley’s AHRC research '(Multi)Cultural Heritag' stimulated the development of this book. Degna Stone, an award-winning poet living in north east England, is currently undertaking a PhD in Cultural Studies at Northumbria University, examining visibility and expression in African, Asian and Caribbean diaspora arts and heritage in the north of England. Their poetry pulls towards the dark seam of life, raising questions about social injustice and complacency.
