The intense interest surrounding the 400th anniversary of Jamestown in 2007 was the immediate occasion for this theme, and the volume has several chapters on issues devoted to memory in the U.S. South. While museums often present themselves as neutral settings for the interpretation of artefacts, they are deeply embedded in cultural, political, and social situations that anthropologists are in a unique position to evaluate. Moreover, the volume is noteworthy for including analyses of more informal sites of memory, including oral history, that connect local pasts and futures. A sophisticated, multi-layered examination of a now trendy topic in anthropology, this work seeks to question widely held notions about collective memory, always reminding us that museums and monuments inform each of us of the past in some particular way and insist that we add it to our consciousness--that we remember it. Margaret Williamson Huber is Professor Emerita of Anthropology at the University of Mary Washington. She is the author of Powhatan Lord of Life and Death: Command and Consent in Seventeenth-Century Virginia. 410 0$aSouthern Anthropological Society proceedings. 606 $aUnited States Local History$2HILCC 606 $aRegions & Countries - Americas$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 607 $aSouthern States$xAntiquities 610 $aSouthern States--Social life and customs--Congresses 610 $aSouthern States--Antiquities--Congresses 610 $aHistorical museums--Southern States--Congresses 615 7$aUnited States Local History 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Americas 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 700 $aMargaret Williamson Huber (Ed.)$4auth$01364691 702 $aHuber$b Margaret Williamson 702 $aShanafelt$b Robert 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910131310503321 996 $aMuseums and memory$93386215 997 $aUNINA
