Description:This book addresses the interconnected issues of public memory, race and heritage tourism, exploring the ways in which historical tourism shapes collective understandings of America's earliest engagements with race.It includes contributions from a diverse group of humanities scholars, including early Americanists, scholars from communication, English, museum studies, historic preservation, art and architecture, Native American studies, and history. Through eight chapters, the collection offers varied perspectives and original analyses of memory-making and re-making through travel to early American sites, bringing needed attention to the considerable role that tourism plays in producing--and possibly unsettling--racialized memories about America's past. The book is an interdisciplinary effort that analyses lesser-known sites of historical and racial significance throughout North America and the Caribbean (up to about 1830) to unpack the relationship between leisure travel and processes of collective remembering or forgetting the connection of tourist sites to colonialism, slavery, genocide and oppression. Public Memory, Race, and Heritage Tourism of Early America provides a deconstruction of the touristic experience with racism, slavery and the indigenous experience in America that will appeal to students and academics in the social sciences and humanities.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
