Steven Trout asserts that from the beginning American memory of the war was fractured and unsettled, more a matter of competing sets of collective memories-each set with its own spokespeople- than a unified body of myth. The members of the American Legion remembered the war as a time of assimilation and national harmony. However, African Americans and radicalized whites recalled a very different war. And so did many of the nation's writers, filmmakers, and painters.World War, 1914-1918Social aspectsUnited StatesCollective memoryUnited StatesMemorySocial aspectsUnited StatesWorld War, 1914-1918InfluenceWorld War, 1914-1918Social aspectsCollective memoryMemorySocial aspectsWorld War, 1914-1918Influence.940.3/1Trout Steven1963-176817MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788355003321On the battlefield of memory3713024UNINA
