'Port Kembla: A memoir is the story of a steel town and its movers and shakers. As Pam Menzies explores the lives lived in the shadow of the Steelworks, she reflects on the rise, fall, and future revival of Port Kembla.' (Publication summary)
'The book is divided into two sections, ‘My Port Kembla’ and ‘Rediscovery and Reconnection’, with section one beginning when Menzies’ family arrived in Port Kembla in 1910.'
'In this lively and affectionate social history of place, Pam Menzies reveals Port Kembla to be both remarkable and ordinary – a driver of the nation as well as being, like so many places in Australia, on the receiving end of change and globalisation.' (Introduction)
