Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials examines how the modification, destruction, or absence of monuments and memorials can be viewed as performative acts that challenge prescribed, embodied narratives in the public realm. Bringing together international, multidisciplinary approaches, the chapters in this volume interrogate the ways in which memorial constructions disclose implicitly and explicitly the proxy battle for public memory and identity, particularly since 2015. Acknowledging the ways in which the past -- which is given agency through monuments and memorials -- intrudes into daily life, this volume offers perspectives from researchers that answer questions about the roles of monuments and memorials as persistent, yet mutable, works whose meanings are not fixed but are, rather, subject to processes of continual re-interpretation. By using monuments and memorials as lenses through which to view race, memory, and the legacies of war, power, and subjugation, this volume demonstrates how these works, and their visible representations of entitlement, possession, control, and authority, can offer the opportunity to pose and answer questions about whose memory matters and what our symbols say about who we are and what we value. Fallen Monuments and Contested Memorials is essential reading for scholars and students studying cultural heritage, history, art history, and public history. It will be particularly useful to those with an interest in public monuments and memorials; colonial and post-colonial history; memory studies; and nationalism, race, and ethnic studies.

Grappling with Monuments of Oppression provides a timely analysis of the diverse approaches being used around the world to confront colonial and imperial monuments and to promote social equity. Presenting 12 interdisciplinary, international case studies, this volume explores the ways in which the materiality of social domination can be combated. With contributions from activists, scholars, artists, and policymakers, the book envisions the theme of restorative justice in heritage and archaeology as encompassing initiatives for the reconciliation of past societal transgressions using processes that are multivocal, dialogic, historically informed, community-based, negotiated, and transformative. Arguing that monuments to historical figures who engaged in oppressive regimes provide rich opportunities for dialogue and negotiation, chapters within the book demonstrate that, by confronting these monuments, citizens can envision new ways to address the context and significance of the figures they memorialize and the many people who were targets of their oppression. Contributors to the book also provide a toolkit of methods and strategies for addressing the continuing structures of social domination. Grappling with Monuments of Oppression will be essential reading for academics and students working in heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies, landscape analysis, and museum studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and activists around the world.

Born into slavery during the Civil War, Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954) would become one of the most prominent activists of her time, with a career bridging the late nineteenth century to the civil rights movement of the 1950s. The first president of the National Association of Colored Women and a founding member of the NAACP, Terrell collaborated closely with the likes of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Unceasing Militant is the first full-length biography of Terrell, bringing her vibrant voice and personality to life. Though most accounts of Terrell focus almost exclusively on her public activism, Alison M. Parker also looks at the often turbulent, unexplored moments in her life to provide a more complete account of a woman dedicated to changing the culture and institutions that perpetuated inequality throughout the United States. This new edition includes a new preface in which Parker reflects on the resurgence of public interest in Terrell and discusses the newly available digitized files of Terrell’s papers at the Library of Congress.

In the past few decades, thousands of new memorials to executed witches, victims of terrorism, and dead astronauts, along with those that pay tribute to civil rights, organ donors, and the end of Communism have dotted the American landscape. Equally ubiquitous, though until now less the subject of serious inquiry, are temporary memorials: spontaneous offerings of flowers and candles that materialize at sites of tragic and traumatic death. In Memorial Mania, Erika Doss argues that these memorials underscore our obsession with issues of memory and history, and the urgent desire to express—and claim—those issues in visibly public contexts. Doss shows how this desire to memorialize the past disposes itself to individual anniversaries and personal grievances, to stories of tragedy and trauma, and to the social and political agendas of diverse numbers of Americans. By offering a framework for understanding these sites, Doss engages the larger issues behind our culture of commemoration. Driven by heated struggles over identity and the politics of representation, Memorial Mania is a testament to the fevered pitch of public feelings in America today.

Im Kontext des Cultural Heritage Booms sind Erinnerungsorte an Versklavung und Kolonialismus ein Feld gesellschaftlicher Konflikte. Das wurde im Jahr 2020 in der Black Lives Matter Bewegung sichtbar. In der International Decade for People of African Descent (2015–2024) wird in Europa, Afrika und den Amerikas diskutiert, wie an Versklavung erinnert werden soll, wer sich bei wem entschuldigen soll und wer wen entschädigen soll. Die Autorin untersucht historische Schauplätze von Versklavung und Profittransfer, Museen, Monumente und Gedenkzeremonien in Frankreich und Spanien, Martinique und Kuba. In Interviews in den europäischen Haupt- und Hafenstädten hat sie eruiert, wer sich für oder gegen das Gedenken an die afrikanischen Gefangenen engagiert hat. In der Karibik hat die Autorin hat mit Nachfahren von versklavten Menschen über ihre Erinnerungen an die Versklavung, Erfahrungen mit Rassismus und die lokalen Gedenkorte gesprochen. Als Erbe der Versklavung trat dabei die rassistisch geprägte soziale Ungleichheit zu Tage. Das Buch richtet sich nicht nur an Forschende und Studierende der Geschichte und verwandter Disziplinen, sondern an alle, die sich für die Dekolonialisierung von Erinnerungskultur und Geschichtspolitik interessieren.

Combating Oppression with New Commemorations examines the ways in which marginalized groups can confront oppressive regimes through commemorations and advocacy of their own heritage. Presenting case studies from across the globe, the volume provides invaluable insights into the diverse strategies and various disciplinary approaches being used to counter oppression through commemorations of the heritage of marginalized groups. Reminding the reader that such commemorations are often created by individuals who have directly confronted traumas of oppression, contributors emphasize that their survivance, successes, and vitality are tributes to human resilience and creativity. Chapters also demonstrate how such commemorations can advance recognition of the group’s diverse legacies and cultural identity and help enhance social and economic equities for that population across local, regional, and national scales. It is also made clear that they can provide resources for reconciliation negotiations with other social collectives who seek to oppress the marginalized group. These dynamics can facilitate truth-telling, accountability, recovery of unrecorded histories, revitalization, increments of healing, and efforts to avoid future repetitions of past and present social traumas. Combating Oppression with New Commemorations will be essential reading for academics, and students working in heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies, landscape analysis, and museum studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and activists around the world.

This edited collection looks at ruins and vacant buildings as part of South Africa’s oppressive history of colonialism and apartheid and ways in which the past persists into the present Falling Monuments, Reluctant Ruins: The Persistence of the Past in the Architecture of Apartheid interrogates how, in the era of decolonization, post-apartheid South Africa reckons with its past in order to shape its future. Architects, historians, artists, social anthropologists and urban planners seek answers in this book to complex and unsettling questions around heritage, ruins and remembrance. What do we do with hollow memorials and political architectural remnants? Which should remain, which forgotten, and which dismantled? Are these vacant buildings, cemeteries, statues, and derelict grounds able to serve as inspiration in the fight against enduring racism and social neglect? Should they become exemplary as spaces for restitution and justice? The contributors examine the influence of public memory, planning and activism on such anguished places of oppression, resistance and defiance. Their focus on visible markers in the landscape to interrogate our past will make readers reconsider these spaces, looking at their landscape and history anew. Through a series of 14 empirically grounded chapters and 48 images, the contributors seek to understand how architecture contests or subverts these persistent conditions in order to promote social justice, land reclamation and urban rehabilitation. The decades following the dismantling of apartheid are surveyed in light of contemporary heritage projects, where building ruins and abandoned spaces are challenged and renegotiated across the country to become sites of protest, inspiration and anger. This ground-breaking collection is an important resource for professionals, academics and activists working in South Africa today.

La tradizione monumentale sta attraversando una fase di profonda messa in discussione, in cui si incrociano tensioni iconoclaste e pratiche di riscrittura delle dinamiche di potere. Lo spazio pubblico è diventato il tema centrale nella pratica di curator*, ricercator*, artist* e attivist*. Questo volume, nato da un convegno ospitato dall’Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera a Milano, raccoglie interventi critici sul monumentalismo in Occidente: punti di vista eterogenei, pratiche e idee in grado di restituire le contraddizioni e i punti di contatto del dibattito presente. Grazie agli spunti teorici, ai contributi storico-artistici e al racconto delle rivendicazioni artistiche e di attivismo, il volume si configura come un dialogo continuo fra il fare e il pensare, l’attivare e il distruggere, il guardare e il partecipare. Un punto di raccordo sul tema in grado di collegare Milano, l’Italia e il resto del mondo sulla bruciante attualità della ragione dei monumenti.

Afroeuropeans: Identities, Racism, and Resistances reflects on the tensions, ambiguities, and paradoxes of Blackness in Europe. The book addresses relations of domination and modes of racial exclusion, but also Afro-European interventions in the political, social, cultural, and artistic spheres, and the multiple resistances that have sustained Black bodies in the European continent. At the same time as Black histories, cultures, and social conditions are made invisible in hegemonic accounts in Europe, there is a hypervisibility and presence of Black stereotyping in European popular culture. Black identities have become even more conditioned by new mainstream far-right discourses and the tightening immigrant and refugee policies that affect people of African descent. One of the book’s most innovative contributions is the attention it gives to Black South European thought, experiences, and resistance—particularly in the Portuguese context. This constitutes not only a critique Europe’s pervasive racism and "color blindness" policies but also makes a significant contribution to a broader understanding of Blackness and racism, extending beyond the U.S. and Northern European contexts. This book is forged in a moment of particularly strong Black intellectual and political vitality. Given the book’s intersectional and transdisciplinary approach, it will be an important go-to for students and researchers across the humanities and social sciences, as well as to artists, activists, politicians, and journalists.
