Abstract
We cite form the cover:
"Photographic Memories explores the ways in which photography has helped Americans and Europeans form and share a store of remembered images, thus giving them a sense of their shared past. This gracefully written narrative weaves together impressions, memories, and analysis, negotiating history in a thoroughly original way and moving deftly from photographic memories of the American Civil War and the Cold War to the iconic images of September 11." ROB KROES is Professor of American Studies, Emeritus, at the University of Amsterdam.
