The result is a richly textured, nuanced study of the emotions of history that offers us new ways to think about children’s experiences and the places and events that shape our memory of the past. -- Shannon L. Fogg, author of \u003ci\u003eStealing Home: Looting, Restitution, and Reconstructing Jewish Lives in France, 1942-1947\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeeling Memory\u003c\/i\u003e theorizes a history of a present where events matter, memories stick and accrete, time ruptures, experiences generate, and little worlds proliferate around sounds, rhythms, and things. It experiments, listening for the intensities and unknown potential of an affective history from the inside out where the things of the world speak differently to one another. -- Kathleen C. Stewart, author of \u003ci\u003eOrdinary Affects\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a compelling mixture of theory, reflections on method, and vivid vignettes, \u003ci\u003eFeeling Memory\u003c\/i\u003e explores the emotions that animate and bind memory in oral history. Its insights extend well beyond the interview, however: Dodd shows what a history of emotions can achieve once affect is seen not just in terms of social prescriptions but as the glue that binds memory and relationships past and present. -- Michael Roper, author of \u003ci\u003eAfterlives of War: A Descendants' History\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeeling Memory\u003c\/i\u003e provides a nuanced and sophisticated explication of how the emotional content of memory shapes the remembered past into the present. Dodd contends that all historians—not just oral historians—need to take affective forms of knowledge more seriously and to search for the traces of feelings in their sources and analyses. The memory stories that are at the heart of the book are truly engaging and often moving. They make the book come alive. -- Ellen R.
