Hello Fellow Museum-L-ers: After seven years as a museum professional, I decided to return to graduate school to become an even more "professional professional!" I'm still wondering if this was an insane choice.... I'm looking for a WWW site that might help me put together a reading list in American Material Culture. I have several lists in hand, and I know of several excellent theoretical works about the issues of material culture in museums, social history and material culture and the power of objects, but I can't seem to find exactly the kind of material studies I'm looking for. (Probably because I'm having difficulty articulating what I want: studies that look at social movements through material culture especially 20th century women, African American and Native American social/political movements) Can anyone suggest sites that might include bibliographic references? Or, perhaps, someone can suggest some good publisher sites that might help. Thanks in advance for your help. Please email me directly rather than bore the list. Denise D. Meringolo [log in to unmask]
