SUMMARY:Public Affairs Conference 2023 - Mapping the Historical Narratives
  of the American People: What is National Identity?
DESCRIPTION:The history of the United States is complex and vast\, spread 
 across continents\, cultures\, and centuries. It is one story comprised o
 f numerous other stories and can be viewed differently from various persp
 ectives.  In recent years\, tension between the many narrative perspectiv
 es on American history have created a political battlefield fought largel
 y in our schools\, yet another theater for the culture wars. Americans ha
 ve struggled over questions of history and public memory for more than a 
 century. Is it desirable or even possible to blend these narratives into 
 one national identity that represents a shared core of who we all are as 
 Americans?  What do competing historical narratives reveal about our comp
 licated past\, and how can an “American” voice incorporate an increasingl
 y diverse population?
