Description
Amending our Pasts and Futures: Observing Media and Place as Means to Memory is an edited volume presenting original research from established and emerging scholars of public and collective memory. Contributors focus on topics including the memory of race and slavery, wars of oppression, and regional and ethnic identities to interrogate how we as collectives remember, commemorate, discuss, forget, and question what is historically revealed, appropriated, silenced, or concealed from public discourse. Through analyses of a wide range of cultural texts and contexts, contributors to this volume demonstrate the crucial role of communication and media in shaping public opinion—and our collective present more broadly—in an effort to amend our painful histories.
