Review Quotes:
"Masterfully interpreting various media of communication such as memorials, interviews, and novels, Douglas Carlton McKnight's Echoes of the Past is a needed contribution to memory studies. The author's close reading reveals how this oft-overlooked minority group's vernacular memory interacts with larger, official, and, at times, hostile memory discourses at the state, national, and transnational levels."
--Eric A. Langenbacher, Teaching Professor of Government, Georgetown University
