Modelling heritage justice for under-represented communities

From the standpoint of sustainable heritage tourism, it has become critical to scrutinize the intersection between authenticity, heritage justice and wellbeing. The authenticity discourse has become increasingly relevant in the heritage justice deliberations, particularly in the context of under-represented communities. This chapter contextualizes a heritage justice paradigm that strives to strengthen the traditional foundations of under-represented communities by safeguarding their cultural authenticity and nurturing their hedonic and eudaimonic wellbeing. Barriers and enablers of heritage justice are identified and a heritage justice model is proposed. This line of inquiry has been sparsely explored in documented literature.
