Abstract

Theorizing Heritage Through Resistance, as a contribution, process, and structure, is introduced in this chapter. It begins with snapshots of waves of resistance and social movements that erupted in different parts of the world, and inspired the editors’ engagement in the intersection of heritage and resistance. In light of these movements, the book focused on illustrating the ways through which heritage become involved in these movements and on identifying heritage-inspired purposeful practices. Working in the intersection of heritage and resistance in different situations of conflict, the book searched for opportunities for justice-making. This chapter ends with explaining the book structure, including the geography and contribution of chapters.
