Recenzii
"A needed and welcome new addition to the field of African American public history and museum studies."
"Sodaro has established herself as a leader in the field of museums and memory. Lifting the Shadow provides a nuanced understanding of how memorial museums function as sites of contested memory. . . . Her book will be an important resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay between memory, history, and social transformation."
"Lifting the Shadow is a path-breaking work and provides readers with eye-opening analyses of how three relatively recent U.S. memorial museums rethink and represent the complicated, violent, and often ignored history and repercussions of U.S. slavery and racism. This well-timed volume will be a valuable asset in the classroom for specialists as well as a public audience interested in issues of race, history, and representation."
"How is the United States grappling with its difficult pasts and engaging with histories that make us uncomfortable? Lifting the Shadow examines the extraordinary memory museums that have been built in the early twenty-first century, museums that demand of the nation a reckoning with the difficult pasts of slavery and racism, museums that shape historical engagement in ways that would not have been possible before. Amy Sodaro shows us that despite the polarization and political retrenchment of our times, these museums point with hope toward new ways of living with difficult pasts and being in America."
"Amy Sodaro’s accessibly written, thoughtful, and timely comparative study of three pivotal U.S. museums shows that they manage to link historical slavery with contemporary racial injustice to varying degrees. Most importantly, she argues that memorial museums have a responsibility in democratic societies, to not only point out and situate oppression in the historical past but highlight its ongoing structural embeddedness in our present."
"Lifting the Shadow offers readers thoughtful, articulate, and challenging biographies of three “next generation” memorial museums. As Amy Sodaro makes clear, these institutions speak with different voices. All, however, ask visitors to engage the “chronic afflictions” of slavery and racial violence through various strategies of experiential immersion. This is—obviously—a most timely book."

Descriere
Lifting the Shadow examines how the National Museum of African American History and Culture, Montgomery’s Legacy Museum and Tulsa’s Greenwood Rising are challenging the national narrative on slavery and race by placing racial oppression at the center of American history and linking historical slavery to contemporary racial injustice.
