Whose Heritage?: Challenging Race and Identity in Stuart Hall’s Post-nation Britain

This book: challenges and re-imagines what is ‘heritage’ in Britain as a globalised, vernacular, cosmopolitan ‘post-nation’. takes its inspiration from the foundational work of public intellectual Stuart Hall (1932-2014) and challenges the lack of action since Hall rebuked ‘The Heritage’ twenty years ago. features 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. Will be of interest to academics, culture sector practitioners and heritage institutions. is particularly aimed at scholars and community members who identify as Black, who are centrally concerned with questions of identity and race in British society.
