- Summary:
- In any settler and/or postcolonial society, heritage is a complex and contested topic. In Australia's case, this is compounded by the country's unique characteristics. Geographies of Australian Heritages brings together internationally recognized academics and emerging scholars to demonstrate the range and diversity of heritage issues currently confronting Australia, and to consider possible ways of resolving these.
