Summary: Annotation Throughout our lives the past is with us, from the most trivial of experiences to the most profound. Its legacies include our DNA and the scars on our bodies, the cultural traditions that bind our families and communities, and the laws that govern the public sphere. We are reminded of the past in street names and license plates; we see images from the past in museum halls and movie theatres; and we hear voices of tire past in today's arguments over rights reclaimed and wrongs to be redressed. In recognizing the presence of the past in our daily lives, William Faulkner said it well: "The past is never dead. It's not even past." Book jacket.
