Abstract
Abstract New England's lingering sense of itself as the locus of abolitionist virtue makes it imperative to interrogate this self-perception while examining the cultural import of contemporary African American memorials in the region. Twenty-first century commemorations in Northern New England are attempting to correct the visual and historical record of the suppression and expulsion of African Americans by erecting memorials that celebrate New England's Black history.
期刊介绍：
Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and any subject germane to New England’s history—for example, the region’s diverse literary and cultural heritage, its political philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious contro- versies, and the organization of family life. The journal also treats the migration of New England ideas, people, and institutions to other parts of the United States and the world. In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, essay reviews, and book reviews.
