"Places of Public Memory, makes a compelling argument that
rhetorical scholarship on public memory has yet to attend
sufficiently to memory's material manifestations and the ways in
which they shape affective experience. . . . Dickinson, Blair, and
Ott offer an exhaustive literature review-useful to anyone
interested in the study of public memory-to show that attention to
the materiality of remembrance and the ways such materiality
structures affective experience will significantly expand our
current understanding of the rhetoric of public memory. . . . The
eight essays comprising this volume constitute a real contribution
to the study of rhetoric and public memory."

"A timely and welcome addition to the literature on memory studies,
Places of Public Memory seeks to marry memory studies with the
methodology of the rhetorician. This exceptional book should be
widely read by cultural historians, rhetoricians, students of
public memory, designers of museums and public displays."
--Journal of Popular Culture
"This is a very interesting and diverse set of essays in the field
of public history, which focuses our attention on fascinating case
studies that have not been widely examined before. That alone makes
this collection of interest to a broad readership."
--Journal of American History
