“Between memory and forgetting is an active silence, which is not forgetting” (18). “Silence is the memory we fail to hear or see, located adjacent to the expressed and voiced one. It is the realm of the unforgettable or unvoiced, but not forgotten memory” (18). Unforgetting is a way of knowing and feeling that which cannot be shared openly. Thai memory of this event is obscured and complicated by power structures and divisions that endure to this day. Originally, student demonstrators were portrayed as militant leftists, aligned with the Communist Party of Thailand. Violence against them was justified by the need to protect the nation from the spread of Communism. With the end of the Cold War, some reassessment of that day has occurred, but a full reckoning, a full remembering, is impossible when the conservative forces of the military, the monarchy, and the Buddhist sangha keep returning to power. To gain a full understanding of October 6th would force a confrontation with the very myths that underlie Thai nationalism. Moments of Silence builds on previous works on memory and history, from Jelin’s 2003 work on memory as a product of social framing to Gluck’s work on “chronopolitics” of memory, “in which changes in domestic and international politics over time created the conditions for changes in the memory-scape.” In Thailand, memory changes as the political climate shifts over time. “Unforgetting” leaves the protestors of October 6th in perpetual limbo. Their longing in 1976 for justice, accountability, and voice remains unfulfilled, but Thongchai Winichakul’s work is one way of breaking through the silence to begin to fill that void.

ABSTRACT The Cold War gave rise to a number of anticommunist women’s organizations in the United States. In an era when women were seen as guardians of the moral character of their children and families, midcentury American women looked for ways they could protect their families and resist communism and its attendant atheism. One of these groups – the Minute Women of the USA – lobbied against communism and for conservative values in the state and federal government and in public school systems. Scholars often refer to the religious characteristics of the organization, but they rarely explore in depth how the group was influenced by religion. This article explores the political and social religious activism of the Minute Women, situating them within the anticommunism of the period while also leveraging Jonathan Herzog’s “spiritual-industrial complex” as a framework for interpretation. The result is a more complex depiction of the role of religion in the Minute Women organization and its pursuits, and a more thorough understanding of how religion shaped politics and culture during the Cold War. Finally, it addresses the role of groups like the Minute Women in ushering in a more religiously, politically, and socially conservative grassroots movement in US politics, particularly among women.

Younts adapted the business over time, and much more. Mill worker graffiti found in the extant buildings (and recorded from demolished ones) is decoded, thus illustrating the depth of the research here. Totaling 223 pages, including notes, a helpful bibliography and index, Morris organizes the book into seven chapters: Education in Indiana, The Growth of Industry in the United States, The Production History of Yount Mill, The Yount Family, The Lives of the Workers, Landscape Reconstruction at Yount Mill, and Conclusions. He illustrates the work with over 70 figures, tables, and graphs. The great value of the book is the rich history it uncovers of the importance of one small-scale manufacturer and how it created a once thriving community. Along the way, Morris paints a compelling, comprehensive narrative of a now mostly vanished rural industrial enterprise, the type of which underpinned the growth of the nation in the 19th century. Morris uses the Yount story to comment on education and its changing focus from pioneer Indiana through the present. Caleb Mills is the Yount educational counterpart: President of Wabash College, four miles distant from the Yount Mill, Mills was a leader in educational reform during the state’s early years. His writings illustrate the struggles to create, fund, and implement a public education system worthy of the name in 19th-century Indiana. Connecting educational reform to the rise and decline of Yount Mill, while commendable, is perhaps the least satisfying aspect of the work. The title unfortunately does not address the author’s thesis that “. . . the extant industrial site serves as a metaphor through which to provide critical commentary for educational policy in the twenty-first century.” The book would also have benefitted from more thorough copyediting. Despite this, Morris takes us on a remarkably innovative journey through a small yet richly detailed slice of American history.
