Fallen Idols: History Is Not Erased When Statues Are Pulled Down. It Is Made
A timely and thought-provoking exploration of the role of statues in our understanding of history, Alex von Tunzelmann examines the recent wave of protests that have seen iconic monuments toppled across the globe.
From the defacement of Confederate icons to the removal of slaveholder statues, this book asks what happens when the stories we tell about our past are challenged. How do we come to terms with a history that is both complex and contested?
