内容简介

In an investigation of American public events, which ranges from the building of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial through ethnic community fairs, this study explores the stories, ideas and symbols behind American commemorations over the 20th century. Such forms of historical consciousness, the author argues, do not necessarily preserve the past but rather address serious political matters of the present.
