Public History in Historical Perspective

The aim of this series is to explore, from different critical perspectives, how representations of the past in the United States and across the globe have been mobilized to serve a variety of political, cultural, and social ends. Books in the series will offer analyses of interest not only to academic historians but also to the wide community of scholars engaged in efforts to understand the role of history and memory in public life.
