| وصف الكتاب | From the sculptured peaks of Mount Rushmore to the Coloradan prairie lands at Sand Creek to the idyllic islands of the Pacific, the West's signature environments add a new dimension to the study of memorials. In such diverse and often dramatic landscapes, how do the natural and built environments shape our emotions? In Memorials Matter, author Jennifer Ladino investigates the natural and physical environments of seven diverse National Park Service (NPS) sites in the American West and how they influence emotions about historical conflict and national identity. Chapters center around the region's diverse inhabitants (Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, African, and Native Americans) and the variously traumatic histories these groups endured-histories of oppression, exploitation, incarceration, slavery, and genocide. Drawing on material ecocritical theory, Ladino emphasizes the ideological and political importance of memorials and how they evoke visceral responses that are not always explicitly 'storied,' but nevertheless matter in powerful ways. In this unique blend of narrative scholarship and critical theory, Ladino demonstrates how these memorial sites and their surrounding landscapes, combined with written texts, generate emotion and shape our collective memory of traumatic events. She urges us to consider our everyday environments and to become attuned to features and feelings we might have otherwise overlooked. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | ... I found myself fascinated by the topic...I learned a lot, more than I can possible describe here.-- "National Parks Traveler" Public historians and students of public history, especially those interested in the field's connection to environmental history, will find Ladino's book both familiar and satisfying. It is familiar because her work is grounded in consideration of humans' relationship with both the built and natural environments and satisfying because of the academic heft of affect theory and how it helps us better understand and articulate visitors' and our own experiences with public memorials.-- "Public Historian" She is optimistic that the NPS can improve its interpretative work to include the complications of racism and environmental losses in its memorialization while allowing visitors still to feel 'awe and wonder' in these amazing landscapes (243). My fingers are crossed that she is right.-- "Western American Literature" Memorials Matter offers a timely and thoughtful examination of the ways in which the built and natural environment shape collective memories and national identity...a book commendably and unabashedly of this time.-- "Western Historical Quarterly" |
