Once the purview of southern scholars, historical studies in American memory have recently turned to regions beyond the South, relations beyond the black-white binary, and stubborn myths beyond the Lost Cause. Tiya Miles’s research on African American and Cherokee relations (The House on Diamond Hill, 2010) shows us that memory is a complicated force that can articulate and shape identity; it reveals structures of power and the unstable meanings of family, race, and place. In addition to Miles’s study, there has been growth in the fertile ground of Indigenous memory studies. Jean O’Brien’s Firsting and Lasting (2010) and Christine DeLucia’s Memory Lands (2018) argue that memories of colonial violence and settlement in New England continue to shape perceptions of dispossession and Indigenous persistence in the region. Ari Kelman’s A Misplaced Massacre (2015) and a handful of others turned westward to contend with memorials of violent events that Americans lamented as the price of progress. Other recent scholars consider the fraught capitalist realm of heritage tourism, noting how the marketplace of memory can be a double-edged sword for Indigenous people. Emerging within this vibrant scholarly field, David W. Grua and Andrew Denson likewise focus on the fraught process of memory-making while centering Indigenous peoples’ perspectives. Their unique studies advance new insights about the politics of memory in which Indigenous people have long been active participants, while also modeling different approaches to evidence, scope, and framing in their respective books.

记忆之争:原住民与纪念文化

美国记忆中的历史研究曾经是南方学者的权限,最近转向南方以外的地区、超越黑白二元的关系以及超越失落原因的顽固神话。Tiya Miles 对非裔美国人和切诺基人关系的研究(钻石山之家,2010 年)向我们表明,记忆是一种复杂的力量,可以表达和塑造身份;它揭示了权力的结构以及家庭、种族和地方的不稳定意义。除了迈尔斯的研究外,土著记忆研究的沃土也有所增长。Jean O'Brien 的 Firsting and Lasting(2010 年)和 Christine DeLucia 的 Memory Lands(2018 年)认为,对新英格兰殖民暴力和定居的记忆继续影响着对该地区的剥夺和土著持久性的看法。阿里·凯尔曼 (Ari Kelman) 的《错位大屠杀》 (A Misplaced Massacre) (2015) 和其他一些人转向西方,与美国人哀叹是进步的代价的暴力事件纪念碑抗争。最近的其他学者考虑了遗产旅游这个令人担忧的资本主义领域,并指出记忆市场如何成为土著人民的双刃剑。在这个充满活力的学术领域中崭露头角,大卫·W·格鲁阿和安德鲁·丹森同样专注于令人担忧的记忆制作过程,同时以土著人民的观点为中心。他们独特的研究推动了对土著人民长期以来积极参与的记忆政治的新见解,同时还在各自的书中对证据、范围和框架的不同方法进行了建模。
