Description:
"A startlingly original and integrated work that considers the ways in which American culture narrates, remembers, and thereby reenacts traumatic events in order to found and refound itself as a national culture. It is a remarkable interdisciplinary study."--Lisa Lowe, author of "Immigrant Acts"
""Tangled Memories" is first-rate: it is exhaustively researched, has an immense command of the literature, and brims with fascinating and original insights. It is a very important book."--James E. Young, author of "The Texture of Memory"
"This book makes a major contribution to our understanding of U.S. culture in the past two decades."--John Carlos Rowe, coeditor of "The Vietnam War and American Culture"
