Abstract
relying on them as he did to cook and buy provisions, garden seeds, and supplies. Although this book deals with white authors’ elision of the knowledge and labor of enslaved people, Klein’s conclusion is optimistic. These “unsettling absences,” she suggests, allow for the emergence of “the most expansive version of the archive of the early United States” (163). In order to use this archive, Klein urges interaction between archivists, texts, and technologies to expose and reckon with the limits of knowledge. An Archive of Taste makes a persuasive case for heeding this call.
期刊介绍:
Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and any subject germane to New England’s history—for example, the region’s diverse literary and cultural heritage, its political philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious contro- versies, and the organization of family life. The journal also treats the migration of New England ideas, people, and institutions to other parts of the United States and the world. In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, essay reviews, and book reviews.
