The article discusses two separate books. The first book, "Hillsville Remembered," examines the development of public memory surrounding a historical event in Hillsville, Virginia. The author analyzes the various ways in which the event is remembered and represented in museums, media, and contemporary performances. While the book provides valuable insights, the reviewer suggests that further analysis could have been done on feminist perspectives and community engagement with media depictions. The second book, "Preserving the Vanishing City," focuses on the history of historic preservation efforts in Cleveland, Ohio. The author explores the challenges faced by preservationists in a city experiencing urban decline and highlights the biases and discrimination within the preservation community. The book also discusses neighborhood-driven preservation efforts and the impact of housing restoration actions on preserving the city's built landscape. The reviewer praises the book for shedding light on the failures of past practices and advocating for more equitable approaches to revitalization in legacy cities. [Extracted from the article] |
