| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examined political contests over public memory between minorities and the main society, by focusing on the establishment of the National Museum of the American Indian (enacted in 1989, opened in 2004) and that of the National Museum of African American History and Culture (enacted in 2003, opening in 2016). Considering historical contexts as well as environmental and congressional factors such as museum sites and the seniority system, this research shows how Native American and African American museum advocates tried to establish officially authorized “national” ethnic museums and recreate the “American Story.” In doing so, this research also clarifies the similarities and differences of both groups as the two major American minorities.
