Radical Roots: Public History and a Tradition of Social Justice Activism theorizes and defines public history as future focused, committed to the advancement of social justice, and engaged in creating a more inclusive public record. Edited by Denise D. Meringolo and with contributions from the field's leading figures, this groundbreaking collection addresses major topics such as museum practices, oral history, grassroots preservation, and community-based learning. It demonstrates the core practices that have shaped radical public history, how they have been mobilized to promote social justice, and how public historians can facilitate civic discourse in order to promote equality."--Book home page Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial 4.0 International License 4 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (Amherst College Press, viewed November 5, 2021) Subject Public history -- United States Social justice -- United States Community museums -- United States HISTORY / General Community museums Public history Social justice SUBJECT United States -- History, Local. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140336 Subject United States Genre/Form Local history Form Electronic book Author Meringolo, Denise D., 1968- editor.
