Tourists of History: Memory, Kitsch, and Consumerism from Oklahoma City to Ground Zero
Marita Sturken
Contends that a consumer culture of comfort objects such as a World Trade Center snow globes, FDNY teddy bears, and Oklahoma City Memorial t-shirts and branded water, as well as re-enactments of traumatic events in memorial and architectural designs, enables a national tendency to see US culture as distant from both history and world politics.
