Crazy Train Radio's Interview with Author Paul H Santa Cruz (Making JFK Matter: Popular Memory and the Thirty-Fifth President)

Crazy Train Radio decided to take a little look at the JFK situation as far as with the viewpoint of this published book: Making JFK Matter: Popular Memory and the Thirty-Fifth President. We discuss ongoing contestation of public memory that continues to be a subject of continuing theoretical interest and debate. The dilemma of between how history & historians have judged JFK’s presidencey and legacy vs how JFK is regarded in “public memory”; ala promise and performance, the Myth of JFK & of course as part of the process of writing this book the theory of Pierre Nora’s notion of “lieu de memoire” or place of memory being an influence.
