Memorials to Shattered Myths: Vietnam to 9/11 traces the evolution and consequences of a new hybrid paradigm; which grants a heroic status to victims of national tragedies; and by extension to their families; thereby creating a class of privileged participants in the permanent memorial process. Harriet F. Senie suggests that instead the victims families be able to determine the nature of an interim memorial; one that addresses their needs in the critical time between the murder of their loved ones and the completion of the permanent memorial. She also observes that the memorials discussed herein are inadvertently based on strategies of diversion and denial that direct our attention away from actual events; and reframe tragedy as secular or religious triumph. In doing so; they camouflage history; and seen as an aggregate; they define a nation of victims; exactly the concept they and their accompanying celebratory narratives were apparently created to obscure.

The songs are all chord melody arrangements. Challenging at first but very rewarding once the familiar tunes start ringing out. Blackbird is my current favorite of the bunch. Includes notation. tabs. lyrics and chord progressions.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fun for beginner to intermediate playersBy M. OttoMost of the reviews for this book as positive for good reason. These are fun but sufficiently challenging arrangements for the beginning to intermediate mandolin player that really capture the essence of the songs. Ive thoroughly enjoyed this book.
