Since the 1990s countries around the world have been building a new type of history museum. Rather than glorifying the nation, these museums are purpose-built to spotlight the darkest and most shameful chapters in national histories. They are inspired by a post-Holocaust, “never again,” human rights memorialization culture anchored in the belief that nations can and should learn from past wrongs. Until recently, the United States lagged behind this trend. Few American museums offered a critical perspective on the nation’s history of racial violence. Sociologist Amy Sodaro, an expert on museums and the politics of past violence, offers her insights on three new U.S. museums that feature the history of slavery and racial violence. This is the subject of her recent book, Lifting the Shadow: Reshaping Memory, Race and Slavery in U.S. Museums.
