Describes a variety of landmarks and buildings that represent the experiences and accomplishments of African Americans throughout the history of the United States. In Landmarks of African American History, James Oliver Horton chooses thirteen historic sites to explore the struggles and triumphs of African Americans and how they helped shape the rich and varied history of the United States. Horton begins with the first Africans brought to Jamestown, Virginia, and the start of slavery in the colonies that became the United States. Boston's Old State House provides the backdrop to the martyrdom of Crispus Attucks, the former slave killed in the Boston Massacre, the confrontation with British troops that led to the American Revolution. After the Civil War, former slaves settled the desolate area of Nicodemus, Kansas, and turned it into a thriving community. The USS Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Boston's Old State House illustrate African American contributions to the defense of their country and reveal racial tensions within the military. And the black students who demanded service at Woolworth's racially segregated lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina, launched the sit-in movement and advanced the fight for civil rights. Horton brings together a wide variety of African American historical sites to tell of the glory and hardship, of the great achievement and determination, of the people and events that have shaped the values, ideals, and dreams of our nation.

In deze indrukwekkende studie gaat Andreas Stynen op zoek naar de wortels, de evolutie en de functie van een aantal plaatsen en symbolen die een belangrijke rol hebben gespeeld in het Vlaams-nationale verleden. Het is een merkwaardige vaststelling dat nogal wat van deze plaatsen en symbolen zulke heftige emoties kunnen oproepen, van sterke afkeer tot haast religieuze adoratie. Nationale symbolen zijn dan ook meer dan vrijblijvende emblemen van een gemeenschap. Terwijl sommigen met veel enthousiasme naar de Yzerbedevaart gaan, Guldensporenvieringen bijwonen op de Groeningekouter (het slagveld van 1302), of naar het Gentse Campo Santo of het Antwerpse Schoonselhof trekken voor een herdenkingsplechtigheid aan het graf van overleden flaminganten, scharen anderen zich niet of met tegenzin achter het volkslied of de leeuwenvlag. Dit gevoel van onbehagen zit niet zelden geworteld in wat zich in een ver of recent verleden op deze plaatsen heeft afgespeeld. Ook al ondernemen organiserende comités en kleine groepen Vlaamsgezinden verwoede pogingen om deze beeldvorming bij te stellen, een groot deel van de Vlamingen heeft zijn bedenkingen bij deze symbolen. Dit is de eerste systematische studie van onze Vlaamse lieux de mémoire. Een geheugen in fragmenten zoekt naar een antwoord op de vraag wat ons nationale verleden nog kan betekenen bij het begin van de eenentwintigste eeuw, nu een bezielde overtuiging niet zelden plaats heeft geruimd voor een afstandelijke, meer toeristische interesse...

Drawing from such disciplines as anthropology, sociology, economics, art criticism, and travel writing, Universal Experience is both a sizeable illustrated catalogue of the exhibition at the MCA, Chicago and a companion to the experience of contemporary travel and tourism. This volume draws on the proliferation of research surrounding the social, geographic, and cultural dimensions of mobility and outputs this information as an anthology of articles, essays, and excerpts. The primary focus of the exhibition, however, is on artworks created by a group of international visual artists who create work in response to travel among multiple cultures--both high and low, and local and foreign. While serving as a "travel guide" to the latest sociological and political research and commentary on tourism and travel, Universal Experience also features a compelling mix of text and more than 170 images in an engaging format that will appeal to high scholars and popular audiences alike. Artists range from well knowns like Rem Koolhaas, Andy Warhol, Vito Acconci, Jeff Koons, and Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, to emerging artists such as Franz Ackermann, Mathias Muller, Shirana Shahbazi, Yukata Sone, Pascale Marthine Tayou, and Pi tr Uklanski. Complimenting and illuminating the works of these artists is a collection of written works by Francesco Bonami, Carol Becker, Alain de Boton, Nancy Specter, Susan Sontag, Lucy Lippard, Robert Fitzpatrick and others.
