Is a patrimony something we inherit or something we create? Does it mark the
continuation of the past or its disappearance?
Combining elements of criticism, cultural history and memoir, Patrimonies
addresses the questions: How do we take from and give back to those who came
before? How have their actions and choices left their mark on us? The
instigation for these questions is an awareness of precariousness—people, places
and histories on the brink.
This is what gives George Kouvaros’s essays their sense of occasion and
responsibility—to those who came before and those still to come. The outcome is
a form of writing that is deeply moving and alert to the tension between
survival and transformation, preservation and appropriation that defines the
engagements with our forebears.
