| Description: |
This deeply moving book examines how one community rebuilt and redefined itself following the Black Saturday fires. |
| Synopsis: |
In Living with Fire, historians Tom Griffiths and Christine Hansen trace both the history of fire in the region and the human history of the Steels Creek valley in a series of essays which examine the relationship between people and place. These essays are interspersed with four interludes compiled from material produced by the community. In the immediate aftermath of the fire many people sought to express their grief, shock, sadness and relief in artwork. These expressions, supplemented by historical archives and the essays they stand beside, offer a sensory and holistic window into the community's contemporary and historical experiences. A deeply moving book, Living with Fire brings to life the stories of one community's experience with fire, offering a way to understand the past, and in doing so, prepare for the future. |
