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. Doss's excellent and highly polemical critique of its resurgence furthers one of American studies' most noteworthy traditions. --Michelle Bogart, Stony Brook University<br><br>--Michelle Bogart, Stony Brook University

I believe Memorial Mania will appeal to a wide audience - both inside and outside academia - given the quality of the writing and the presentation of the material.... It is a sign of the quality of Erika Doss's work that I am left wanting more. (Anthropology Works) What makes Erika Doss's book so valuable is that it reveals the range, complexity, and depth of emotion produced by memorial acts. (American Quarterly)
