Structures of Memory or Martin Luther King JR and the Civil Rights Movement

Structures of Memory: Understanding Urban Change in Berlin and Beyond

Author: Jennifer A Jordan

“This is an original and fascinating work that will be a welcome addition to the ever-growing conversation on the cultural functions of memorialization, official and vernacular memorial processes, and the relation between remembering and forgetting. Jordan reminds us, as well she should, that what does not gain a place in the landscape is as revealing as what does finally gain the prestige of a public site.”—Edward T. Linenthal, Indiana University
