Reviews
"This book presents an ideological interpretation of the role of 'powerless' individuals in shaping collective memory in the face of hegemonic institutions.Well footnoted, referenced, and supported by tables and figures." - B.Osborne, Choice
"Social movement and American history scholars will learn something from this book." - Randolph Hohle, D'Youville College
"systematic, thorough, well-researched, and well organized...both intruitging and instructive." - Jennifer A. Jordan, Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews
"Kubal's study provides an interesting and insightful exploration of how different types of groups relate to the national origin myth of Christopher Columbus...it presents a thought provoking account of what is really just a story; a tale of how American society has adjusted and adapted a narrative of what many still consider its originating event." - Timothy B. Gongaware, Sociological Spectrum
