Immigrant Industry

Anoma Pieris is Professor in Architecture at The University of Melbourne. Her recent publication is The Architecture of Confinement: Incarceration camps of the Pacific War (Cambridge University Press 2022), co-authored with Lynne Horiuchi.

“This is an excellent book that makes a crucial scholarly contribution in an understudied subject area. It makes a strong and nuanced argument for reinserting a focus on the built environment to critical heritage studies.” • Andrew Johnston, University of Virginia“This is an excellent collection that opens many avenues for further research. The chapters draw on a range of disciplinary writings as well as more theoretical conceptual critics… (and) the authors are truly knowledgeable concerning the work on migration studies.” • Sneja Gunew, University of British Columbia
