How hard do we work to remember our past or to forget it? These are some of the questions that Jonathan Scott Holloway addresses in this exploration of race memory from the dawn of the modern civil rights era to the present. Relying on social science, documentary film, dance, popular literature, museums, memoir, and the tourism trade, Holloway explores the stories black Americans have told about their past and why these stories are vital to understanding a modern black identity. In the process, Holloway asks much larger questions about the value of history and facts when memories do violence to both. Making discoveries about his own past while researching this book, Holloway weaves first-person and family memories into the traditional third-person historian's perspective. The result is a highly readable, rich, and deeply personal narrative that will be familiar to some, shocking to others, and thought-provoking to everyone"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Race awareness $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Psychology. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Memory $x Sociological aspects. 600 10 $a Holloway, Jonathan Scott. 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1116/2785408/image/lgcover.9781469610702.jpg 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217020039.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826081419.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202092332.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20140917012951.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20131105014603.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5B04C78E45E811E3A4FDE4CADAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
