Publisher description
Provides multiple, open-ended historical representations and perspectives of Bondi Beach that call into question 'objective' and 'contained' histories of place, and which advocate for generative 'conversations of understanding'. Challenges and reconfigures dominant discourses of 'reality' by opening them up to a multiplicity of contexts. Presents engrossing and highly original accounts of the intersections between culture and nature that offer fresh perspectives on how we know, and write about, living with, through and in, a place. Uniquely draws on tenets of the philosophy of history, as articulated by a band of critical historical scholars, to link geology, geography, cultural studies, sport history, heritage studies, Indigenous history and Bondi Beach. Written in a rigorous yet accessible style, appealing to a broad, interdisciplinary scholarly audience and beyond
