Common-place Launches Winter 2014 Issue: The Civil War at 150: Memory and Meaning.

Common-place is proud to announce the launch of its latest special issue, "The Civil War at 150: Memory and Meaning." 

Edited by Megan Kate Nelson and Kevin Levin, this issue offers a collection of essays that reflect on the state of how we are remembering the Civil War at the midway point of its sesquicentennial observances. 

Ranging from Manisha Sinha's analysis of the post-bellum memory of the abolitionist movement to Mary Niall Mitchell's uncovering of the publication history of Solomon Northup's Twelve Years a Slave to essays from Ari Kelman, Adam Arenson, Sarah Beetham, and John Hennessy on the landscapes and markers of memory, this special issue offers a rich and provocative set of reflections on history, war, and memory.
