Among the most productive ecosystems on earth, wetlands are also
some of the most vulnerable. Australian Wetland Cultures argues for
the cultural value of wetlands. Through a focus on swamps and their
conservation, the volume makes a unique contribution to the growing
interdisciplinary field of the environmental humanities. The
authors investigate the crucial role of swamps in Australian
society through the idea of wetland cultures. The broad historical
and cultural range of the book spans pre-settlement indigenous
Australian cultures, nineteenth-century European colonization, and
contemporary Australian engagements with wetland habitats. The
contributors situate the Australian emphasis in international
cultural and ecological contexts. Case studies from Perth, Western
Australia, provide practical examples of the conservation of
wetlands as sites of interlinked natural and cultural heritage. The
volume will appeal to readers with interests in anthropology,
Australian studies, cultural studies, ecological science,
environmental studies, and heritage protection.
