Heritage is not what we see in front of us, it is what we make of
it in our heads. Heritage sites have been connected to a range of
identarian projects, both spatial and non-spatial. One of the most
common links with heritage has been national identity. This book
stresses that heritage has developed powerful links to regional and
local identities. Contributors deal explicitly with regions of
heavy industry in different parts of the world, exploring
non-spatial forms of identity: including class, religious, ethnic,
racial, gender and cultural identities. In many heritage sites,
non-spatial forms of identity are interlinked with spatial ones.
Civil society action has been important in representations of
regional identities and industrial-heritage campaigns.
Region-branding seems to determine the ultimate success of
industrial heritage, a process that is closely connected to the
marketing of regions to provide a viable economic future and
attract tourism to the region. Selected case-studies on coal and
steel producing regions in this book provide the first global
survey of how regions of heavy industry deal with their industrial
heritage, and what it means for regional identity and
region-branding. This book draws a range of powerful conclusions
about the path dependency of particular forms for post-industrial
regional identity in former regions of heavy industry. It
highlights both commonalities and differences in the strategies
employed with regard to the regions' industrial heritage. This book
will appeal to lecturers, students and scholars in the fields of
heritage management, industrial studies and cultural geography .
