Erika Doss is professor of American studies at the University of Notre Dame and the author of Benton, Pollock, and the Politics of Modernism: From Regionalism to Abstract Expressionism.
Memorial Mania is an important and much-needed book, one that complements the existing literature on memorials with richness and originality, and also forges new territory. Erika Doss's excellent and highly polemical critique of its resurgence furthers one of American studies' most noteworthy traditions. - Michelle Bogart, Stony Brook University
