Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xi + 227 pages, b&w images in text, NOT ex-library. Minor handling wear only, book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Issued without a dust jacket. -- Focused on America's complex and often contentious public memory, this book delves into how key events, monuments, and memorials have sparked debates and shaped collective memory in the United States. The study examines significant moments in American history, from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement, and explores how their commemoration reflects broader societal conflicts and evolving values. By focusing on the human stories behind these disputes, the authors bring to life the passions and perspectives of activists, historians, community members, and political leaders, each with their own vision of how history should be remembered. The book provides keen insights into the power of public commemoration to influence collective identity, addressing contemporary controversies such as Confederate monuments and the representation of marginalized groups. It challenges readers to think critically about how public memory is constructed and who decides what is remembered or forgotten. "Contested Commemoration in U.S. History" is a thought-provoking read that combines historical analysis with personal narratives and commentary. It is essential for anyone interested in how history is interpreted and contested in the public sphere, and serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing dialogue about the past and its impact on the present and future.
