Since the 1960s, nations across the "developed world" 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's 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.
