These museums are challenging historical narratives of slavery and race by placing racial oppression at the center of American history and linking historical slavery to contemporary racial injustice, but they have opened in a period marked by growing racial tension, white nationalism, and political division. Sodaro examines how the violence of U.S. slavery and its lasting legacies is negotiated in these museums, as well as their potential to contribute to the development of a more critical historical memory of race in the U.S. at this particularly volatile sociopolitical moment. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amy Sodaro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978842643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978842649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Amy Sodaro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46465627554047,"sku":"9781978842649","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5d7e00e1-f21e-4fd6-a5f0-d4121dbf21e0.jpg?v=1736346815","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lifting-the-shadow-amy-sodaro-9781978842649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
