Abstract
"Exhibiting Patriotism" American patriotism is proudly on display at historical sites across America, but how those places are viewed tends to be in the eye of the beholder. In "Exhibiting Patriotism," Teresa Bergman analyzes exhibits, interpretive materials and orientation films at major US sites -- from the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento to the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. We’ll talk with Bergman about her book and what she has learned from studying the controversies that have erupted at these sites.
