White-controlled magazines such as the \u003ci\u003eIndependent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOutlook\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eArena\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMcClure’s\u003c\/i\u003e carried stories of southern nostalgia, union reconciliation, and white purity. Relying on willful ignorance to misremember past experiences of suffering, these texts severed violent histories from present-day policies and often simply remained silent. Meanwhile, in Black magazines such as the \u003ci\u003eColored American Magazine \u003c\/i\u003eand the\u003ci\u003e Voice of the Negro\u003c\/i\u003e, women writers leveraged countermemory. Bringing Black women’s accomplishments into focus, these writers inverted popular white narratives that erased and obscured Black women’s experiences, including those of sexual violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Mary E. Triece traces how white and Black magazines—often in dialogue with one another—differently engaged memory work to either reinforce or upend white supremacy during a period of both Black advancement and white backlash. Further, the book suggests lines of connection between the construction of public memory in the past to those taking place today across an array of media platforms. Popular debates—whether appearing in early 1900s magazines or on twenty-first-century social media sites—shape a culture’s collective knowledge of what counts as true, important, and worthy of attention.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52607726387480,"sku":"9781496854162","price":19.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/memory-work-white-ignorance-and-black-resistance-in-popular-magazines-1900-1910-paperback-softback-9781496854162","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
