Since the 1960s, nations across the developed world have been profoundly shaped by deindustrialization and other kinds of significant economic transformation. In regions in which previously dominant industries face crisis or have disappeared altogether, industrial heritage offers a fascinating window into the phenomenons 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.
