Description
What do we remember about US Presidents, and how do we come to commemorate their legacies?
Few personalities loom larger than the President of the United States.
Their accomplishments and failures are forensically documented, and their personal lives are under constant scrutiny from the media.
But how does a president's legacy emerge, and how to do we come to commemorate it? In Constructing Presidential Legacy, world-leading experts take a multi-disciplinary approach to explore how presidents are remembered.
They look at multiple presidents, including Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, the Roosevelts, Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Eisenhower, Reagan, Obama and Trump.
Discover how presidential legacies are constructed during and after a President's time in the Whitehouse, and how they are portrayed in media such as film, museums, public art, political invocations, pop culture, literature and evolving technological advancements.
