PERSONAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
My book is the culmination of a decade of research and writing about the relationship between memory and history. I have written a variety of articles, essays, and reviews that have made it possible for me to attempt this synthesis, and I have derived great satisfaction in drawing together ideas, insights, and perspectives of the able scholars in this burgeoning field of scholarship, among the most important in the historiography of the late twentieth century. Along the way, I have appreciated the advice and encouragement of editors, scholars, and friends. I thank Lee Brown, Rachel Fuchs, Trever Hagen, Siobhan Kattago, Daniel Levy, Fiona McintoshVarjabédian, Linda Mitchell, Jeffrey Olick, Nancy Partner, Mark Phillips, Sabine Schindler, Natalia Starostina, Richard Sugarman, and Anna Lisa Tota. I also thank the Humanities Institute at Arizona State University and the Retired Professors Association at the University of Vermont for grants that furthered my research and writing.
