Survivor café : the legacy of trauma and the labyrinth of memory / by Rosner, Elizabeth,author.(CARDINAL)355461;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 258-268).Author's note -- Introduction -- Beech forest III -- The S-word -- The woman who had eight mothers -- They walked like ghosts -- Beech forest I -- 3G and the opposite of forgetting -- Stumbling stones -- Beech forest II -- Post memory and the paradox of artifice -- Epilogue.As survivors of many of the twentieth century's most monumental events--the Holocaust, Hiroshima, the Killing Fields--begin to pass away, Survivor Café addresses urgent questions: How do we carry those stories forward? How do we collectively ensure that the horrors of the past are not forgotten? Elizabeth Rosner organizes her book around three trips with her father to Buchenwald concentration camp--in 1983, in 1995, and in 2015--each journey an experience in which personal history confronts both commemoration and memorialization. She explores the echoes of similar legacies among descendants of African American slaves, descendants of Cambodian survivors of the Killing Fields, descendants of survivors of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the effects of 9/11 on the general population. Examining current brain research, Rosner depicts the efforts to understand the intergenerational inheritance of trauma, as well as the intricacies of remembrance in the aftermath of atrocity. Survivor Café becomes a lens for numerous constructs of memory--from museums and commemorative sites to national reconciliation projects to small-group cross-cultural encounters. Beyond preserving the firsthand testimonies of participants and witnesses, individuals and societies must continually take responsibility for learning the painful lessons of the past in order to offer hope for the future. Survivor Café offers a clear-eyed sense of the enormity of our twenty-first-century human inheritance--not only among direct descendants of the Holocaust but also in the shape of our collective responsibility to learn from tragedy, and to keep the ever-changing conversations alive between the past and the present.

The cultural work of the Ku Klux Klan in US History textbooks, 1883-2015 / Elaine Parsons -- Wade Hampton's last parade: memory of reconstruction in the 1970 South Carolina tricentennial / Bruce E. Baker."Academic studies of the Civil War and historical memory abound, ensuring a deeper understanding of how the war's meaning has shifted over time and the implications of those changes for concepts of race, citizenship, and nationhood. The Reconstruction era, by contrast, has yet to receive similar attention from scholars. Remembering Reconstruction ably fills this void, assembling a prestigious lineup of Reconstruction historians to examine the competing social and historical memories of this pivotal and violent period in American history. Many consider the period from 1863 (beginning with slave emancipation) to 1877 (when the last federal troops were withdrawn from South Carolina and Louisiana) an "unfinished revolution" for civil rights, racial-identity formation, and social reform. Despite the cataclysmic aftermath of the war, the memory of Reconstruction in American consciousness and its impact on the country's fraught history of identity, race, and reparation has been largely neglected. The essays in Remembering Reconstruction advance and broaden our perceptions of the complex revisions in the nation's collective memory. Notably, the authors uncover the impetus behind the creation of black counter-memories of Reconstruction and the narrative of the "tragic era" that dominated white memory of the period. Furthermore, by questioning how Americans have remembered Reconstruction and how those memories have shaped the nation's social and political history throughout the twentieth century, this volume places memory at the heart of historical inquiry." -- Publisher's description

Smashing statues : the rise and fall of America's public monuments / by Thompson, Erin L.,author.;
Rising -- Melted majesty -- Chain of being -- Shafts -- A shrine for the South -- Falling -- Bring your drums -- Hideous spectre -- Too damn beautiful -- The great reshufflling.Includes bibliographical references (pages 245-254) and index."A leading expert's exploration of the past, present, and future of public monuments in America. An urgent and fractious national debate over public monuments has erupted in America. Some people risk imprisonment to tear down long-ignored hunks of marble; others form armed patrols to defend them. Why do we care so much about statues? And who gets to decide which ones should stay up and which should come down? Erin L. Thompson, the country's leading expert in the tangled aesthetic, legal, political, and social issues involved in such battles brings much-needed clarity in Smashing Statues. She traces the turbulent history of American monuments and its abundant ironies, starting with the enslaved man who helped make the statue of Freedom atop the US Capitol, and explores the surprising motivations behind such contemporary flashpoints as the toppling of a statue of Columbus at the Minnesota State Capitol. Written with great verve and thoroughly researched, Smashing Statues gives readers the context they need to consider the fundamental question: Whose voices must be heard and whose pain must remain private?"--

Trapped in the present tense : meditations on American memory / by Brooks, Colette,author.;
Shooters -- Soldiers -- Secrets -- Statistics -- Snapshots."In a culture trapped in the present tense, how can we keep the past from disappearing? When we lose sight of the past, our ability to understand ourselves on both a national and personal level is inhibited. While exploring the darker constants in modernAmerican life - violence, militarization, rapid technological change, inability to be truly attentive - and the disorientation these elements induce, Colette Brooks examines how the past disappears in a culture that is so relentlessly present-tense and whether or not we have a personal responsibility to remember. As our past falls into oblivion, are we potentially losing the individual as well, dissolved into demographic data points? And what of the general threat of extinction (catastrophic or personal)?As Oblivion Approaches is a modest act of resistance against erasure, and an attempt at recuperation. Composing in interrelated sections that build on and circle back upon each other. Brooks encourages reflection, stirs memory, and addresses a crucial question: how did all this happen?"--
