Constructing Industrial Pasts : Heritage, Historical Culture and Identity in Regions Undergoing Structural Economic Transformation Hardback
Edited by Stefan Berger
Part of the Making Sense of History series
Hardback
Description
Since the 1960s, nations across the “developed world†have been profoundly shaped by deindustrialization.
In regions in which previously dominant industries faced crises 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.
