Why is it easy to hate and difficult to love? When societies
fracture into warring tribes, we demonise those who oppose us. We
tear down our statues, forgetting that what begins with the
destruction of statues, often leads to the killing of people.
Blending history, philosophy and psychology, A History of Love and
Hate in 21 Statues is a compelling exploration of identity and
power. This remarkable book spans every continent, religion and
era, through the creation and destruction of 21 statues from
Hatshepsut and the Buddhas of Bamiyan to Mendelssohn, Edward
Colston and Frederick Douglass. The 21 statues are Hatshepsut
(Ancient Egypt), Nero (Suffolk, UK), Athena (Syria), Buddhas of
Bamiyan (Afghanistan), Hecate (Constantinople), Our Lady of
Caversham (near Reading, UK), Huitzilopochtli (Mexico), Confucius
(China), Louis XV (France), Mendelssohn (Germany), The Confederate
Monument (US), Sir John A. Macdonald (Canada), Christopher Columbus
(Venezuela), Edward Colston (Bristol, UK), Cecil Rhodes (South
Africa), George Washington (US), Stalin (Hungary), Yagan
(Australia), Saddam Hussein (Iraq), B. R. Ambedkar (India) and
Frederick Douglass (US).
