Beyond the Battlefield Race, Memory, and the American Civil War

By David W. Blight

(Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 2002. Pp. xi, 301. Notes, index. Clothbound, $70.00; paper-bound, $19.95.)

This work is a collection of twelve essays and lectures that the author contributed to the subfield of "memory studies" over a fifteen-year span ending in 1998. These essays address Dwight W. Blight's primary scholarly concerns: "the meaning of the causes, course and consequences of the American Civil War; the nature of African American history and the significance of race in American history generally; and the character and purpose of the study of historical memory" (p. ix).
