Course Description

This class explores the relationships among memory, monuments, place, and political power in

the United States West. The course begins with an introduction to the theory of collective

memory and then delves into case studies in New Mexico, California, and Texas. We will

expand our perspective at the end of the course to compare what we have learned with the

recent debates over monuments to the Confederacy. We will consider both physical

manifestations of collective memory such as monuments and architecture as well as intangible

expressions like performance, oral history and folklore.
