Recenzje

"From her brilliant opening excursus of Pollock's 'Blue Poles' to her revelatory analysis of who remembers our contemporary wars, how, why, and to what aesthetic and political ends, Christine Sylvester's Curating and Re-curating the American Wars in Vietnam and Iraqis a stunning achievement. Lucidly written, powerfully argued, and beautifully illustrated, every insight of every chapter made me see these wars and their sites of memory as if for the first time. An exquisite 'tour de force' in every way." — James E. Young, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
