Weaving a National Story as the Nation Frays
In a fraught cultural moment, the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has committed to doing public history that is inclusive, intersectional, contingent and, forward‐looking. Deputy Director of Public History Benjamin Filene explores how these values run through two of the museum's major recent interpretive endeavors—creating a new Interpretive Plan for the museum and advancing a multifaceted commemoration of the 250th anniversary …
Remembrance of Things Present
Review of: Remembrance of Things Present: The Invention of the Time Capsule, by Nick Yablon
Passionate Histories
Even as museums and sites struggle to attract audiences and bemoan the public's lack of interest in history, people working outside museums and universities, without professional training, and often without funding, are approaching history in ways that fire the enthusiasm of thousands. Unmoored by institutional expectations, they are what we might call “outsider history-makers”: genealogists, heritage tourism developers, and re-enactors, among ot…
Lost Delta Found
This remarkable book recovers three invaluable perspectives, long thought have been lost, on the culture and music of the Mississippi Delta. In 1941 and '42 African American scholars from Fisk University - among them the noted composer and musicologist John Wesley Work, sociologist Lewis Wade Jones, and graduate student Samuel C. Adams - joined folklorist Alan Lomax of the Library of Congress on research trips Coahoma County, Mississippi. Their m…

Music and the Making of a New South
Romancing the Folk
In American music, the notion of "roots" has been a powerful refrain, but just what constitutes our true musical traditions has often been a matter of debate. As Benjamin Filene reveals, a number of competing visions of America's musical past have vied for influence over the public imagination in this century. Filene builds his story around a fascinating group of characters -- folklorists, record company executives, producers, radio programmers, …
Selling Tradition
Settlement and Survival
One photograph appears in two different exhibitions at the Chippewa Valley Mu- seum. The difference in its treatment suggests both how far this emerging regional museum has come and the challenges it still faces. The photograph shows a team of horses dragging the church building out of Porter's Mills, Wisconsin, in 1901. In the museum's "Rural Heritage" exhibition (opened 1982), the photo is displayed merely as a historical curiosity. It accompan…
