All industrialization is deeply rooted within the specific
geographies in which it took place, and echoes of previous
industrialization continue to reverberate in these places through
to the modern day. This book investigates the overlap of memory and
the impacts of industrialization within today's communities and the
senses of place and heritage that grew alongside and in reaction to
the growth of mines, mills, and factories. The economic and social
change that accompanied the unchecked accumulation of wealth and
exploitation of labor as the industrial revolution spread
throughout the world has numerous lasting impacts on the
socioeconomics of today. Likewise, the planet itself is now
reeling. The memory and heritage of these processes reach into the
communities that owe the industrial revolution their existence, but
these populations also often suffered adverse impacts to their
health and environment through the large-scale and rapid extraction
of natural resources and production of goods. Through the themes of
memory, community, and place; working post-industrial landscapes;
and the de-romanticization of industrial pasts, this book examines
the endurance and decline of these communities, the spatial
processes of industrial byproducts, and the memory and heritage of
industrialization and its legacies. While based in the traditions
of geography, this collection also draws upon and will be of great
interest to students and scholars of cultural anthropology,
archaeology, sociology, history, architecture, civil engineering,
and heritage, memory, museum, and tourism studies. Using global
examples, the authors provide a uniquely geographic understanding
to industrial heritage across the spaces, places, and memories of
industrial development.
