Using culture as an entry point, and informed by the work of
contemporary social theorists, the essays in this volume identify
and challenge sites where the representational dimension of social
life produces national identity through scripts of belonging, or
traces.
The contributors utilize empirically based studies of social
policy, political economy, and social institutions to offer a new
way of looking at the creation of meaning, representation, and
memory. They scrutinize subjects such as narratives in the U.S.
coal industry's change from digging mines to removing mountaintops;
war-related redress policies in post-World War II Japan; views of
masculinity linked to tequila, Pancho Villa, and the Mexican
Revolution; and the politics of subjectivity in 1970s political
violence in Thailand.
Contributors: Sarah Banet-Weiser, U of Southern California;
Barbara A. Barnes, U of California, Berkeley; Marie Sarita Gaytan;
Avery F. Gordon, U of California, Santa Barbara; Tanya McNeill, U
of California, Santa Cruz; Sudarat Musikawong, Willamette U; Akiko
Naono, U of Kyushu; Rebecca R. Scott, U of Missouri.
