Constructing Industrial Pasts PAPERBACK 9781836950714

Berghahn Books

Since the 1960s, nations across the \u201Cdeveloped world\u201D 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\u2019s 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.\n\nConstructing Industrial Pasts\nHeritage, Historical Culture and Identity in Regions Undergoing Structural Economic Transformation\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, ;
