War creates brutal landscapes of control and domination that embed historical differences, creating physical legacies of inequality and denial. "Contested Spaces" is a global study of sites of conflict, places of loss, fear, resistance and pilgrimage where the materiality of violence forcibly brings the past into the present. The collection draws together scholars from cultural history, cultural geography, art history, architecture, archaeology, media studies, international relations and American studies to examine a series of internationally significant sites and how they are inhabited, represented, witnessed and visited.

Industry Reviews

'Raises important questions about the materiality of place as expressed through memory, interpretation, representation, narrative and preservation. In looking at physical and psychological landscapes shaped by violence, this book is never glib: contradictions are intelligently drawn out and sensitively discussed.' - Museums Journal
