Paperback. Condición: Good. In this unusual book a number of New Zealand's leading historians write about their own favourite 'historic' places where the past comes alive. Special events or times in our history are linked with their own personal memories and the physical presence of these 'places' today. Anne Salmond muses on her home town of Gisborne, with its rich intersection of Maori and European history. Erik Olssen ponders a lifetime of change in Dunedin; the stories that ooze from its streets and alleyways, brick and bluestone making life here a bit like living in the text of a favourite poem or novel. Jock Phillips visits Wanganui, the 'war memorial capital of the world', musing on how its war memorials sum up the uneasy history of the racial frontier in New Zealand, and what we can learn from them about a society. The fate of the Kiwis at Gallipoli are relived by Ian McGibbon, who walks, we are told, where New Zealand's national identity was forged ninety years ago. 266 pages.

Hardback. Condición: New. 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.
