| Emily S. Rosenberg began her career as a specialist in U.S. diplomatic history. Her first book used a corporatist paradigm, which was then the cutting edge of the field, to analyze American economic diplomacy in the first half of the twentieth century. Even in that book, however, Rosenberg was beginning to explore the cultural dimensions of U.S. international history, an exploration that would subsequently become her special contribution to the discipline. In her second book, and in several important articles, Rosenberg emerged as one of the first historians to champion new cultural approaches to diplomatic history, folding these approaches neatly into a more traditional narrative of America's economic and financial engagement abroad. Now, with this new book, she joins the ranks of those who are exploring the interesting relationship between history and memory. If some people remain nimble thinkers, Rosenberg is one of them. |
