Book The Politics of Public Memory

Download or read book The Politics of Public Memory written by Martha K. Norkunas and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines American public culture and the means by which communities in the U.S. reconstruct the past and reinterpret the present in the development of tourism. Norkunas shows how public culture is not confined to just museums or monuments, but can be constructed on many different levels and in different settings, such as community ethnicity, natural setting (environment), literary landscape, and history. In her case study of Monterey, the author explores the particular ideologies that prompt the community to represent itself in tourism, and that also act to legitimate the current social structure.

Download or read book Storied Land written by John Walton and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2003-12 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "John Walton never writes predictable books, and Monterey, California, is not a predictable place; the pairing is perfect. Although rooted in Monterey, this book explores how people in general construct historical narratives. Storied Land is as thought-provoking a discussion of public history and what it means to tell stories about the past as anything that I have read."—Richard White, author of Remembering Ahanagran: A History of Stories "With deep research, shrewd analysis, and vivid writing, John Walton reveals how we live in a web of competing stories that connect future and present to a contested past. In recovering the particular riches of Monterey's literally storied past, Walton finds universal experiences of labor, resistance, loss, and silencing. His own masterful storytelling lets us develop a fuller, more humane tie to the people of our past."—Alan Taylor, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning William Cooper's Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic "In the borderlands between archived event and public memory, John Walton has found a pathway to understanding the process whereby a community remembers, forgets, denies, affirms, or otherwise structures or re-structures its understanding of itself. Excavating a region and a city important to Native American, Spanish, Mexican, and American California, A Storied Land makes a welcomed contribution to California studies and the larger history and sociology of place."—Kevin Starr, author of Inventing the Dream: California Through the Progressive Era "Once again, John Walton has turned the facts about California into a compelling narrative and a profound meditation on the nature of history and collective memory."—Howard Becker, author of Art Worlds

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hand Book to Monterey and Vicinity: Containing a Brief Resume of the History of Monterey Since Its Discovery; A General Review of the Resources and Products of Monterey and the Country; Descriptive Sketches of the Town, and the Points of Interest in the Neighborhood; Carmel Mission and Vall Like a maiden musing sadly o'er her suitors turned away, Long she sat in lonely beauty close beside her crescent bay. Heeding not the world of action that beyond her portals lay; Careless of the strife of nations, living only for to-day. Dreaming of a golden future, while the present drifted by, As a ship becalmed may linger 'neath the storm-cloud in the sky. All her passions wrapped in slumber; slowly through her languid veins Flowed her blood, as in midsummer creeps the stream across the plains. Never lover came to woo her, never woke she from her trance, Like the mystic Sleeping Beauty in the pages of romance. Till the fairy Prince of Progress smiled upon her hidden charms, On her ripe lips quickly kissed her, reached and drew her to his arms. At his touch she slowly started: Indolence her limbs had bound While she lingered, idly dreaming, where the tasseled tree-tops sound; And though heart and soul were eager to accept the proffered love, 'Neath the tyrant's chain they struggled, as the wings of prisoned dove. Not in vain she strives to free them; for, behold! the chain is burst! Aided by the arm of Progress soon the last shall be the first. Soon a queen among the cities that adorn our golden coast Shall she stand, and in her glory, of her noble lover boast. Edwin Emmet Curtis.
