Steel Town The Making and Breaking of Port

Using archival records, oral history interviews, and company documents, this book charts the relationship between economic change and the human experience of that change in Port Kembla, Australia, an area seen by many Australia, an area seen by many Australians as a polluted wasteland. Also explored are industrial society and the impact of economic decline and deindustrialization, drawing together themes of migration, gender, class, and identity.

Erik Eklund is a lecturer in Australian History at the University of Newcastle.
