When hate groups descended on Charlottesville, Virginia, triggering
an eruption of racist violence, the tragic conflict reverberated
throughout the world. It also had a profound effect on the
University of Virginia's expansive community, many of whose members
are involved in teaching issues of racism, public art, free speech,
and social ethics. In the wake of this momentous incident,
scholars, educators, and researchers have come together in this
important new volume to thoughtfully reflect on the historic events
of August 11 and 12, 2017. How should we respond to the moral and
ethical challenges of our times? What are our individual and
collective responsibilities in advancing the principles of
democracy and justice? Charlottesville 2017: The Legacy of Race and
Inequity brings together the work of these UVA faculty members
catalyzed by last summer's events to examine their community's
history more deeply and more broadly. Their essays-ranging from
John Mason on the local legacy of the Lost Cause to Leslie Kendrick
on free speech to Rachel Wahl on the paradoxes of activism-examine
truth telling, engaged listening, and ethical responses, and aim to
inspire individual reflection, as well as to provoke considered and
responsible dialogue. This prescient new collection is a
conversation that understands and owns America's past
and-crucially-shows that our past is very much part of our present.
