About this ebook
New relevance as the nation struggles over the memorials of the Civil War in places like Charlottesville, in its ongoing reckoning with white supremacy, this book is more important than ever, and has already attracted renewed attention
Updated material: this edition will be wholly updated and reworked, with dedicated researchers verifying what has changed and what hasn’t on the American landscape, including changes and updates across each chapter. It also includes a rewrite of the analysis and theory that Loewen uses to understand these issues
Mitch Landrieu has become a spokesperson for this book, as he writes and tours across the country talking about confederate memorials
Author promotion: Loewen continually speaks at venues, especially universities, across the country, and regularly writes for History News Network and other outlets.
