Ghosts, Redding argues, serve as lasting witnesses to the legacies of slaves and indigenous peoples whose stories were lost in the remembrance or mistranslation of history. No matter how much Americans willingly or unwillingly repress the true history of their ancestry; their ghosts remain unburied and restless. 410 0$aIntroduction: A land without ghosts -- Haints and nation: ghosts and the narrative of national identity -- Memory, race, ethnicity, and violence -- Abandoning hope in American fiction: Catalogs of gothic catastrophe -- Conclusion: American innocence. 606 $aGhost stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGothic fiction (Literary genre), American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGhosts in literature 606 $aCollective memory in literature 606 $aNational characteristics, American, in literature 615 0$aGhost stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGothic fiction (Literary genre), American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGhosts in literature. 615 0$aCollective memory in literature. 615 0$aNational characteristics, American, in literature. 676 $a813/.0873309 700 $aRedding$b Arthur F.$f1964-$01540544 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791965303321 996 $aHaints$93863011 997 $aUNINA
