This volume seeks to re-appraise vernacular narratives of the past and the present and
critically examine the impact of various factors − social and political movements; symbols
and imaginings; law and policy − in envisioning multiple, dialogic and counter-hegemonic
futures. In doing so it highlights some of the following issues:
– Inclusion/exclusion/contestations of the mainstream.
– Reconstructing or reimagining the past and its deployment.
– Processes and structures of such contests; and/or their normalization.
– Boundedness by social or territorial delimitations.
– Alternative models of dialogic and counter-hegemonic futures.
