For the cityOCOs first two hundred years, the story told at
Washington DCOCOs symbolic center, the National Mall, was about
triumphant American leaders. Since 1982, when the Vietnam Veterans
Memorial was dedicated, the narrative has shifted to emphasize the
memory of American wars. In the last thirty years, five significant
war memorials have been built on, or very nearly on, the Mall. The
Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the
Women in Military Service for America Memorial, The National
Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During WWII, and the
National World War II Memorial have not only transformed the
physical space of the Mall but have also dramatically rewritten
ideas about U.S. nationalism expressed there. In "Sacrificing
Soldiers on the National Mall," Kristin Ann Hass examines this war
memorial boom, the debates about war and race and gender and
patriotism that shaped the memorials, and the new narratives about
the nature of American citizenship that they spawned. "Sacrificing
Soldiers on the National Mall "explores the meanings we have made
in exchange for the lives of our soldiers and asks if we have made
good on our enormous responsibility to them.
