Köp båda 2 för 763 krThe book documents the fascinating continental 'travels' of a statue of the Wampanoag leader Massasoit, installed in 1921 at Plymouth, Ma., to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Pilgrims' arrival . . . This is an object lesson in the commodification of Native American memory.--Choice Reviews A welcome addition to the historiography of memory and a growing list of books focused on Indigenous monuments. Moreover, the authors' extensive work tracing the many lives of Massasoit exhibits how difficult it is to fix the meaning of an object even after it is rendered in stone.--Western Historical Quarterly Art historians will find Monumental Mobility fascinating and rich in material for teaching courses on the ethics of museum practices and art reproduction, while public historians will find Blee and O'Brien's arguments solidly grounded in interpretive theory. . . a worthwhile read for both academics and the interested public--thanks to the indefatigable research conducted by Blee and O'Brien.--Journal of Early American History
