Curating America's Painful Past
In Curating America’s Painful Past, Gruenewald poses an important thought experiment in the book’s conclusion: “Imagine a national memorial dedicated to the memory of America’s painful past on the National Mall (195).” The book presents a convincing argument that the four museums already on the mall—the National Museum of American History (nmah), the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (ushm), the National Museum of African American History a…
Capturing the South
Scott L. Matthews's book analyzes what documentary representations of the South contributed to the biases and stereotypes so resented by those who were documented. Matthews's approach to this large endeavor is to choose five regions and study the prominent photographers and sociologists who documented these areas, including the sociologist Howard Odum's Community and Folk Background Studies; Jack Delano's Farm Security Administration (Fsa) photog…
Queerly Remembered
War and Remembrance
Thomas H. Conner offers an agency history of the American Battle Monuments Commission (Abmc) that recounts the commission's important story with an emphasis on its creation and on General of Armies John J.

Connor notes that the Abmc's initial mission when it began in 1923 was to create and guard U.S. overseas cemeteries and memorials, and “to identify some of the most important implications of th…

Micki McElya's history of Arlington National Cemetery makes several important contributions to understanding the reverence instilled by the site in the contemporary United States. McElya asserts that Arlington National Cemetery offers “an opportunity to expand the contours of the honorable and brave, not diminish them” (pp. 10–11). Notwithstanding this goal, one of the book's main contributions is its documenting of the racism that factored into …

Personal narrative, dialogism, and the performance of “truth” in complaints of a dutiful daughter
This paper examines the documentary film Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter in order to trace out the representations and performances that connote “truth” and “knowledge.” Drawing on Michel Foucault's observations concerning the social construction of knowledge, documentary film theory, and performance theory, I show how the use of personal narrative and naturalism in this documentary film can be interpreted as working at cross‐purposes with its p…
