Heritage Conservation in the United States: Enhancing the Presence of the Past
Autor John H. Sprinkle, Jr.en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 mai 2023
The first generation of the New Preservation (1966-1991) was characterized by the establishment of the bureaucratic structures that continue to shape the practice of heritage conservation in the United States. The National Register of Historic Places began with less than a thousand historic properties and grew to over 50,000 listings. Official recognition programs expanded, causing sites that would never have been considered as either significant or physically representative in 1966 now being regularly considered as part of a historic preservation planning process. The book uses the story of how sites associated with African American history came to be officially recognized and valued, and how that process challenged the conventions and criteria that governed American preservation practice.
This book is designed for the historic preservation community and students engaged in the study of historic preservation.

Recenzii
This outstanding book speaks eloquently and powerfully to an ongoing and important challenge which underscores that, on this noble journey we call historic preservation, our efforts must reflect the "Face of America." Dr. Sprinkle emphasizes that, if we are to be fully successful in our preservation efforts, we must be true to history and include a recognition of the contributions of all cultures in the development of our nation. A must read for all those who care for the preservation of our diverse and rich collective heritage.Robert G. Stanton, 15th Director of the National Park Service
As the historic preservation movement stands at yet another inflection point, John Sprinkle takes us back to the second generation of practitioners who stood within a formalized system of heritage conservation. He documents the intersections (and contradictions therein) between the preservation movement and the modern fight for Civil Rights. This book promises to serve as a self-reflection, and much needed context, for a field looking to re-evaluate the very systems codified by the New Preservationists of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s.

"Grounding the transformations in how the state preserves and interprets the past within the broader social,
political, and cultural context of the twentieth century, Sprinkle shows us that this is a complicated story that eschews simplistic progressive interpretations of how institutions change. In the pages of Sprinkle’s book are the voices of African American activists and other minority groups who drove the profound transformations in thinking around what the United States should preserve, and on whose terms. The Leopold Prize seeks to recognize the important work being done by historians outside of the academy, and Sprinkle’s Heritage Conservation in the United States is a shining example of those efforts."
