As a nation we bring many perspectives to our commemorative places
and our ideas may change over time, especially on difficult topics
like slavery and racism. Why a place is saved and how it is
interpreted to visitors has much to do with our collective memory
of the events that took place there. Using the skills of an
archaeologist and a historian, Paul Shackel examines four
well-known Civil War-era National Park sites and shows us how
public memory shaped their creation and continues to shape their
interpretation. Shackel shows us that "public memory" is really
"public memories," and interpretation may change dramatically from
one generation to another as interpreters try to accommodate, or
ignore, certain memories. Memory in Black and White is important
reading for all who are interested in history and memory of
landscapes, and will be especially useful to those involved in
preserving and interpreting a controversial place. Visit the
