The unfinished bombing : Oklahoma City in American memory by
Edward Tabor Linenthal(
)
20 editions published between 1900 and 2003 in English and held by 2,885 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Writing with empathy, passion, and critical insight, Edward T. Linenthal explores the ways Oklahomans, and American culture at large, have tried to make sense of this horrific event. Drawing from over 150 personal interviews with survivors, family members of those murdered, rescuers, and many others, Linenthal portrays the aftermath of the bombing and the formation of a "bereaved community" that extended from Oklahoma City across the country and even the world

American sacred space(
)
13 editions published in 1995 in English and Italian and held by 2,141 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
In a series of pioneering studies, this book examines the creation -- and the conflict behind the creation -- of sacred space in America. The essays in this volume visit places in America where economic, political, and social forces clash over the sacred and the profane, from wilderness areas in the American West to the Mall in Washington, D.C., and they investigate visions of America as sacred space at home and abroad. Here are the beginnings of a new American religious history -- told as the story of the contested spaces it has inhabited. The contributors are David Chidester, Matthew Glass, Edward T. Linenthal, Colleen McDannell, Robert S. Michaelsen, Rowland A. Sherrill, and Bron Taylor

Preserving memory : the struggle to create America's Holocaust Museum by
Edward Tabor Linenthal(
Book
)
26 editions published between 1995 and 2001 in English and held by 1,048 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
From the moment it opened on April 22, 1993, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has captivated the American public with its innovative and affecting representation of one of the century's most troubling events. In its first year, it attracted nearly two million visitors -- at the rate of five thousand a day -- each of whom walked away with a lasting impression of awe in the face of the unimaginable. This honest, lively, and readable story of its creation portrays the emotionally complex and intellectually complicated struggles surrounding the birth of the museum. Striking in its tone and subtle observation, Preserving Memory tells the remarkable story of the fifteen-year struggle surrounding the project. Beset by endless obstacles, but imbued with the determination to create a worthy memorial to the pain and devastation of the "Final Solution," the museum's creators succeeded in making a monument to the extremes of human goodness and evil. - Jacket flap

The landscapes of 9/11 : a photographer's journey by
Jonathan Hyman(
Book
)
4 editions published in 2013 in English and held by 400 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"In The Landscapes of 9/11, Hyman offers readers a representative sampling of his photographs and also relates his own story in a clear and detailed narrative. He is joined by a diverse group of scholars and museum professionals, including editors Edward Linenthal and Christiane Gruber, who use the Hyman collection to investigate the cultural functions of memorial practices in the United States and beyond, including Northern Ireland, the Palestinian West Bank, and Iran. The volume's contributors explore a variety of topics, including the 'documentary impulse' in American photography; the value of Hyman's collection as cornerstone material for the shapers of the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City; and the tensions between official national narratives of heroism and martyrdom, and vernacular expressions of hope, grief, patriotism, and revenge. Created for a wide readership, and richly illustrated, The Landscapes of 9/11 explores the role of visual expression in contemporary acts of memorialization."--Publisher description

From the "taming of the West" to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, the portrayal of the past has become a battleground at the heart of American politics. What kind of history Americans should read, see, or fund is no longer merely a matter of professional interest to teachers, historians, and museum curators. Everywhere now, history is increasingly being held hostage, but to what end and why? In [this book], eight prominent historians consider the angry swirl of emotions that now surrounds public memory.-Back cover
