The Story of America
Problematic Graves, Tourism, and the Wishes of Survivors
Many significant exhumation episodes in America involved not only statesmen and warriors, founders and fallen heroes, but also legendary figures, especially in literature and the arts—for example, Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Rothko. Beyond exhumation and reburial, or the restoration of a neglected gravesite, these people have something in common: their civic and personal survivors (particularly mothers and spouses) argued that the deceased had eithe…
Disinterred by Devotion
Throughout America's history, there have been cases of reburial involving men of the cloth or laypersons deemed inspirational, such as missionaries. In those instances, reburial equates to enshrinement. In other cases, the figures involved were entirely secular, yet their devoted followers lamented that they were buried without receiving proper recognition, often due to racial prejudice. Indeed, some of the most heated disputes about where people…

Pumpkin
Cindy Ott digs deeply and creatively in furrowing a few familiar and many elusive sources in this major contribution to American agricultural and sociocultural history. The subject may be homely and massively fecund (hundreds of pumpkins from one seed) but the book is elegant and erudite in spanning the sixteenth century to the present. Ott traces the pumpkin's place in Indian creation stories; for the European settlers the pumpkin became “a sign…

Digging Up the Dead
Visual Shock
Michael Kammen's purpose in this ambitious book is to “indicat[e] the nature, diversity, and persistence of major disputes generated by art since the 1830s, but also to reveal what has changed and why” (p. xvi). Organized “topically within a chronological framework,” the chapters alternate focus among art forms, controversial subjects, problematic styles, and changing museum paradigms (p. xxvi). Sequentially, Kammen addresses memorials; nudity; p…
The American Past Politicized
This article examines some of the major ways in which American history has been written, revised, and reinterpreted from partisan perspectives and for political purposes. It takes note of the Revolutionary founders' concerns about the ways in which their pivotal era (1765-1789) was likely to be misunderstood or distorted; how several of the most central events in the national narrative, such as the sectional conflict and Civil War, came to be mis…

Culture and the State in America
During 1989-90 the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) underwent a fierce attack because it indirectly funded allegedly anti-Christian work by Andres Serrano and a Robert Mapplethorpe photographic exhibition considered pornographic by some.* In 1991 a revisionist, didactic display of Western art at the National Museum of American Art (part of the Smithsonian Institution) aroused congressional ire, yet that latter episode now seems, in retrospec…

In this volume, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen explores the U.S. Constitution's place in the public consciousness and its role as a symbol in American life, from ratification in 1788 to our own time.
