High hopes in hard times : a history of Grey Lynn and Westmere

Collection: DOCUMENTARY HERITAGE
Shifting grounds : history, memory and materiality in Auckland landscapes c.1350-2018

Description: "Shifting Grounds" looks closely at three iconic Auckland landscapes - the Auckland Domain (Pukekawa), Maungakiekie (which encompasses two adjacent parks, Cornwall Park and One Tree Hill Domain) and the ╘tuataua Stonefields Historic Reserve. Approaching each site as an archive and examining the experiences embedded in each place, the thesis examines how history, memory and materiality have evolved in these three places. While New Zealand historians have explored relationships between people and their material worlds in wilderness and rural areas, relatively little work has been done on urban environments. "Shifting Grounds" enters the landscapes of the country's largest city, builds on existing scholarship on cultural and environmental history and extends the discussion into areas that have received relatively little attention. In the course of creating a fine-grained analysis of each site, it forges new historical connections across Auckland as well as nationally and internationally that are hard to see and understand in more generalised accounts of the city.
