Conservatives dominated the proceedings, spending millions to portray the conflict as a triumph of good over evil and a defeat of totalitarianism equal in significance to World War II. In this provocative book, historian Jon Wiener visits Cold War monuments, museums, and memorials across the United States to find out how the era is being remembered. The author's journey provides a history of the Cold War, one that turns many conventional notions on their heads. In an engaging travelogue that takes readers to sites such as the life-size recreation of Berlin's "Checkpoint Charlie" at the Reagan Library, the fallout shelter display at the Smithsonian, and exhibits about "Sgt. Elvis," America's most famous Cold War veteran, Wiener discovers that the Cold War isn't being remembered. It's being forgotten. Despite an immense effort, the conservatives' monuments weren't built, their historic sites have few visitors, and many of their museums have now shifted focus to other topics. Proponents of the notion of a heroic "Cold War victory" failed; the public didn't buy the official story. Lively, readable, and well-informed, this book expands current discussions about memory and history, and raises intriguing questions about popular skepticism toward official ideology. 606 $aPolitics and culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCold War$xHistoriography 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCollective memory$zUnited States 606 $aWorld politics$y1945-1989 606 $aConservatism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y20th century 610 $a20th century american history. 610 $aamerican culture. 610 $aamerican history. 610 $aamerican wars. 610 $aberlin. 610 $abooks for history lovers. 610 $acold war victory. 610 $acommunism. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aend of cold war. 610 $aend of totalitarianism. 610 $aengaging. 610 $afall of the ussr. 610 $ahome school history books. 610 $alenin. 610 $alife during cold war. 610 $apolitical ideology. 610 $apolitical parties. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $apolitics. 610 $apost cold war politics. 610 $apost war life. 610 $ared scare. 610 $arise of totalitarianism. 610 $arussian history. 610 $astalin. 610 $aunited states history. 610 $aworld war ii. 615 0$aPolitics and culture$xHistory 615 0$aCold War$xHistoriography. 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCollective memory 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aConservatism$xHistory 676 $a973.91 700 $aWiener$b Jon$01475724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791930803321 996 $aHow we forgot the Cold War$93690020 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03540nam 2200613 450 001 9910798067503321 005 20230803213952.0 010 $a1-4529-4230-7 035 $a(CKB)3710000000550370 035 $a(EBL)4391643 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4391643 035 $a(OCoLC)966824719 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse52168 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4391643 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11152874 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL884339 035 $a(OCoLC)933741435 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000550370 100 $a20160218h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|||||||nn|n 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aCinders /$fJacques Derrida ; translated by Ned Lukacher ; introduction by Cary Wolfe 205 $aFirst University of Mennesota Press edition. 210 1$aMinneapolis, Minnesota :$cUniversity of Minnesota Press,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (104 p.) 225 1 $aPosthumanities ;$v28 300 $aTranslation of: Feu la cendre. 311 $a0-8166-8954-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aContents; Introduction; Prologue; Animadversions; Cinders; Sources for Animadversions; Translator's Notes 330 $a" "More than fifteen years ago," Jacques Derrida writes in the prologue to this remarkable and uniquely revealing book, "a phrase came to me, as though in spite of me. It imposed itself upon me with the authority, so discreet and simple it was, of a judgment: cinders there are (il y a là cendre). I had to explain myself to it, respond to it--or for it." In Cinders Derrida ranges across his work from the previous twenty years and discerns a recurrent cluster of arguments and images, all involving in one way or another ashes and cinders. For Derrida, cinders or ashes--at once fragile and resilient--are "the better paradigm for what I call the trace--something that erases itself totally, radically, while presenting itself." In a style that is both highly condensed and elliptical, Cinders offers probing reflections on the relation of language to truth, writing, the voice, and the complex connections between the living and the dead. It also contains some of his most essential elaborations of his thinking on the feminine and on the legacy of the Holocaust (both a word--from the Greek holos, "whole," and kaustos, "burnt"--and a historical event that invokes ashes) in contemporary poetry and philosophy. In turning from the texts of other philosophers to his own, Cinders enables readers to follow the trajectory from Derrida's early work on the trace, the gramma, and the voice to his later writings on life, death, time, and the spectral. Among the most accessible of this renowned philosopher's many writings, Cinders is an evocative and haunting work of poetic self-analysis that deepens our understanding of Derrida's critical and philosophical vision.
