Inhaltsangabe

This new collection of essays offers fresh perspectives from countries on both sides of the trenches of Gallipoli. Examined are intersections of art and memory, and the role that material culture and museums play in the representation and commemoration of war. The book takes an innovative approach to the cultural legacies of an event which continues to shape the identity of Australia, New Zealand and Turkey.
