[This book is] a relevant discussion of what sacredness of space means in terms of education, culture, and economics." * Kirkus Reviews * "Marita Sturkens compelling new book charts a significant shift in how many Americans today understand national identity and purpose. Terror remains an active component, but activist memory projects focused on racial terrorism suggest heightened interests in reckoning with national histories of inequity and injustice. " * Erika Doss, author of <i>Memorial Mania: Public Feeling in America</i> * "There is no scholar better suited to undertake an analysis of the modes of memorialization in the post-9/11 era and their relationship to US national identity. In her deft analysis, Sturken painstakingly articulates the state of memory politics in the contemporary US. This is a must read for anyone interested in memorial forms and the cultural work they perform. " * Alison Landsberg, author of <i>Engaging the Past: Mass Culture and the Production of Historical Knowledge</i> * "Sturken presents an intriguing and impassioned argument that helps to document through words and images the recent decades of the memory boom'" -- J. K. Dabbs, University of Minnesota--Morris * CHOICE *
