America's slave past is being analyzed as never before, yet it remains one of the most contentious issues in U.S. memory. In recent years, the culture wars over the way that slavery is remembered and taught have reached a new crescendo. From the argument about the display of the Confederate flag over the state house in Columbia, South Carolina, to the dispute over Thomas Jefferson's relationship with his slave Sally Hemings and the ongoing debates about reparations, the questions grow ever more urgent and more difficult.Edited by noted historians James Oliver Horton and Lois E. Horton, this collection explores current controversies and offers a bracing analysis of how people remember their past and how the lessons they draw influence American politics and culture today. Bringing together some of the nation's most respected historians, including Ira Berlin, David W. Blight, and Gary B. Nash, this is a major contribution to the unsettling but crucial debate about the significance of slavery and its meaning for racial reconciliation.Contributors:Ira Berlin, University of MarylanDavid W.

In a good aspect, every country has its indigestible narratives. It is remarkable to bring the history of slavery in front of the public and make sure people aware that the "free land" was not free. But, it is also hard to interpret and narrative this part of history if the community refuses to.

评分"we are our memories; they dictate to us and we respond to them, and we endlessly revise them. memory can control us, overwhelm us, poison us. Or it can save us from utter confusion and despair. As individuals, we cannot live without it, but is is part of the agony in the human condition to live with in it as well."
