Very grateful to the Journal of Contemporary Archaeology for publishing this, especially after I put manuscripts which were not good before their editor and said: "If you want to take them, take them; if you do not want to take them, go away!" journal.equinoxpub.com/JCA/article/...

I was really pleased to see a chapter on romance novels in a volume about history/historical memory: it shows they have value to historians.

Integrating the voices of Civil War historians, public historians, and scholars of contemporary America, They Are Dead and Yet They Live explores the use (and abuse) of Civil War memory in the modern era, from the Civil War Centennial and the civil rights era through the political turmoil of the present day. Moving the conversation of Civil War memory beyond Confederate monuments to crucial debates about the Civil War’s usefulness as a frame for understanding America’s recent struggles, these essays show how Civil War memory is as politically urgent and socially relevant today as it was a half century ago.
