Märksõnad:

Since the 1960s, nations across the “developed world” have been profoundly shaped by deindustrialization and other kinds of significant economic transformation. In regions in which previously dominant industries face crisis or have disappeared altogether, industrial heritage offers a fascinating window into the phenomenon’s cultural dimensions. As the contributions to this volume demonstrate, even as forms of industrial heritage provide anchors of identity for local populations, their meanings remain deeply contested, as both radical and conservative varieties of nostalgia intermingle with critical approaches and straightforward apologias for a past that was often full of pain, exploitation and struggle.

Arvustused

The 15 case studies are written to a uniformly high standard and provide a consistent approach to investigating each context's local cultural identity, which is increasingly important to maintain and acknowledge in this age of rapid globalization and homogenization of identity and economics. This analysis of specific regional examples of post-industrial history and the remembrance of an often romanticized, yet harsh, industrial identity will be of wide academic and regional interestRecommended. Choice





This collection of well-focused essays takes an original approach to a subject of very wide interest. It has substantial cross-disciplinary appeal. Chris Wrigley, Nottingham University





Constructing Industrial Pasts is a timely volume on post-industrial history and the processes and politics of remembrance. It covers a richly detailed set of case studies and makes an invaluable contribution to the field. Denis Byrne, Western Sydney University
