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 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 235-262) and index Notes Print version record Subject British -- New Zealand -- History -- 19th century British -- New Zealand -- History -- 20th century Cultural property -- Protection -- New Zealand -- History Group identity -- New Zealand -- History Māori (New Zealand people) -- Material culture HISTORY -- Australia & New Zealand.
