In this expansive history of South Carolina's commemoration of the
Civil War era, Thomas Brown uses the lens of place to examine the
ways that landmarks of Confederate memory have helped white
southerners negotiate their shifting political, social, and
economic positions. By looking at prominent sites such as Fort
Sumter, Charleston's Magnolia Cemetery, and the South Carolina
statehouse, Brown reveals a dynamic pattern of contestation and
change. He highlights transformations of gender norms and
establishes a fresh perspective on race in Civil War remembrance by
emphasizing the fluidity of racial identity within the politics of
white supremacy. Despite the conservative ideology that connects
these sites, Brown argues that the Confederate canon of memory has
adapted to address varied challenges of modernity from the war's
end to the present, when enthusiasts turn to fantasy to renew a
faded myth while children of the civil rights era look for a usable
Confederate past. In surveying a rich, controversial, and sometimes
even comical cultural landscape, Brown illuminates the workings of
collective memory sustained by engagement with the particularity of
place.
