Hosszú leírás:
Lifting the Shadow: Reshaping Memory, Race, and Slavery in U.S. Museums examines a small but significant wave of new U.S. memorial museums that focus on slavery and its ongoing violent legacies, including the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Montgomery?s Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, and Greenwood Rising, which commemorates the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. These museums are challenging historical narratives of slavery and race by placing racial oppression at the center of American history and linking historical slavery to contemporary racial injustice, but they have opened in a period marked by growing racial tension, white nationalism, and political division. Sodaro examines how the violence of U.S. slavery and its lasting legacies is negotiated in these museums, as well as their potential to contribute to the development of a more critical historical memory of race in the U.S. at this particularly volatile sociopolitical moment.
"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."? Silke Arnold-de Simine, author of Mediating Memory in the Museum: Empathy, Trauma, Nostalgia
"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."? Marita Sturken, author of Terrorism in American Memory: Memorials, Museums, and Architecture in the Post-9/11 Era
"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."? Joyce Apsel, president of the Institute for the Study of Genocide
