Description

Book Synopsis
Thousands of memorials to executed witches, victims of terrorism, and dead astronauts, along with those that pay tribute to civil rights, organ donors, and the end of communism, have dotted the American landscape. This title argues that these memorials underscore our obsession with issues of memory and history.

Trade Review
"Memorial Mania is an important and much-needed book, one that complements the existing literature on memorials with richness and originality, and also forges new territory. Erika Doss's excellent and highly polemical critique of its resurgence furthers one of American studies' most noteworthy traditions." - Michelle Bogart, Stony Brook University"
