Haunting the Past: History, Memory, Dreams, and the Reflections of a Dying Historian

By Joseph W. Laythe

Historian Joseph Laythe is dying from cancer. But, as his last exercise in academic inquiry, he explores the rich connections between history, memory, and dreams. As he does so, he reveals the power of memory and history in the role of identity making and examines the ways in which it has affected his place in the classroom and beyond. Ultimately those forces have to be re-made as an individual, like Laythe himself, undergoes the process of dying and encountering the face of death.
