Book Synopsis
In the past few decades, thousands of memorials have dotted the American landscape. This title argues that these memorials underscore our obsession with issues of memory and history, and the urgent desire to express - and claim - those issues in visibly public contexts.

Trade Review
"I believe Memorial Mania will appeal to a wide audience - both inside and outside academia - given the quality of the writing and the presentation of the material.... It is a sign of the quality of Erika Doss's work that I am left wanting more." (Anthropology Works) "What makes Erika Doss's book so valuable is that it reveals the range, complexity, and depth of emotion produced by memorial acts." (American Quarterly)"
