This comprehensive book delves into the intricate interplay of public memory, race, and heritage tourism, shedding light on how historical tourism shapes our collective understanding of America's earliest encounters with race. Drawing upon the expertise of a diverse group of humanities scholars, including early Americanists, communication specialists, English scholars, museum studies experts, historic preservationists, artists, and architects, the collection offers a rich tapestry of perspectives and original analyses. Spanning eight chapters, the book explores diverse aspects of memory-making and re-making through travel to early American sites, emphasizing the significant role that tourism plays in shaping and potentially unsettling racialized memories about America's past.
This interdisciplinary endeavor examines lesser-known sites of historical and racial significance across North America and the Caribbean, up to approximately 1830. By unpacking the relationship between leisure travel, processes of collective remembering or forgetting, and the connections of tourist sites to colonialism, slavery, genocide, and oppression, the book provides a profound exploration of the complex dynamics that shape our understanding of the past.
With its engaging and thought-provoking content, Public Memory, Race, and Heritage Tourism of Early America appeals to students and academics alike in the social sciences and humanities. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the intersectionality of race, history, and tourism and its impact on shaping our collective memory and understanding of the world.
