History, heritage, and colonialism explores the politics of
history-making and interest in preserving the material remnants of
the past in late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century colonial
society, looking at both indigenous pasts and those of European
origin. Focusing on New Zealand, but also covering the Australian
and Canadian experiences, it explores how different groups and
political interests have sought to harness historical narrative in
support of competing visions of identity and memory. Considering
this within the frames of the local and national as well as of
empire, the book offers a valuable critique of the study of
colonial identity-making and cultures of colonisation. This book
offers important insights for societies negotiating the legacy of a
colonial past in a global present, and will be of particular value
to all those concerned with museum, heritage, and tourism studies,
as well as imperial history. -- .
