Recenzii
The second edition of Defining Memory is a wide-sweeping and engaging read for public history professionals and scholars who, along with the authors, continue to grapple with the complexities and potential of local museums.
The second edition of Defining Memory: Local Museums and the Construction of History in America's Changing Communities takes one of the essential themes of the first edition - the important and complex relationship that place holds for local museums - and brings it squarely into the hot issues of the 21st century. Expanded and new essays tackle subjects that augment the many contributions that local museums bring to our communities and to the country at large. Topics such as museums and race, relevance, and the never-ending narrative of how museums negotiate political reality underscores the raison d'etre for such institutions, as eloquently stated in Carol Kammen's foreword: 'knowledge of the past, and of who we are today, is not something only an expert knows, but is something for which we all search and to which we all contribute.'
