re-examined the relationships between past memories and present
actions at international, national, and local scales.

the various actors involved in the reproduction of social memory
and heritage landscapes. Social Memory and Heritage Tourism
Methodologies describes and demonstrates innovations - including
qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method approaches - for
analysing the process and politics of remembering and touring the
past through place. An introductory chapter looks at the history of
social memory and heritage tourism research and the particular
challenges posed by these fields of study. In subsequent chapters,
the reader is lead through the varying methodologies employed by
presenting them in the context of an in-depth case study from range
of geographical locations. The resulting volume showcases
innovative research in social memory and heritage tourism and
provides the reader with insights into how they can successfully
conduct their own research while avoiding common pitfalls. This
title will be useful reading for scholars, professionals and
students in tourism, geography, anthropology and museum studies who
are preparing to conduct research on the reproduction of social

Remembering Enslavement explores plantation museums as sites for
contesting and reforming public interpretations of slavery in the
American South. Emerging out of a three-year National Science
Foundation grant (2014-17), the book turns a critical eye toward
the growing inclusion of the formerly enslaved within these
museums, specifically examining advances but also continuing
inequalities in how they narrate and memorialize the formerly
enslaved. Using assemblage theory as a framework, Remembering
Enslavement offers an innovative approach for studying heritage
sites, retelling and remapping the ways that slavery and the
enslaved are included in southern plantation museums. It examines
multiple plantation sites across geographic areas, considering the
experiences of a diversity of actors: tourists, museum
managers/owners, and tour guides/interpreters. This approach allows
for an understanding of regional variations among plantation
museums, narratives, and performances, as well as more in-depth
study of the plantation tour experience and public interpretations.
The authors conclude the book with a set of questions designed to
help professionals reassemble plantation museum narratives and
landscapes to more justly position the formerly enslaved at their
center.
