Nine killed in Charleston church shooting. White supremacists
demonstrate in Charlottesville. Monuments decommissioned in New
Orleans and Chapel Hill. The headlines keep coming, and the debate
rolls on. How should we contend with our troubled history as a
nation? What is the best way forward? This first book in UGA
Press's History in the Headlines series offers a rich discussion
between four leading scholars who have studied the history of
Confederate memory and memorialization. Through this dialogue, we
see how historians explore contentious topics and provide
historical context for students and the broader public. Confederate
Statues and Memorialization artfully engages the past and its
influence on present racial and social tensions in an accessible
format for students and interested general readers. Following the
conversation, the book includes a "Top Ten" set of essays and
articles that everyone should read to flesh out their understanding
of this contentious, sometimes violent topic. The book closes with
an extended list of recommended reading, offering readers specific
suggestions for pursuing other voices and points of view.
