Sample Book Insights:
#1 In certain circumstances, statues are more than just stone and metal. They are symbols of individuals, and their symbolism often crosses between the secular and religious.
#2 The culture war binary surrounding the statues issue is a short-hand way for the media to cover the issue, but it overlooks the complex history of how societies around the world have chosen to memorialize and tear down statues.
#3 The debate over monuments and statues is just another example of how historical memory is constructed and challenged. It is important to understand that any written history is merely a map of history, not the actual territory.
#4 The issue of who gets to define our history is extremely important. Leaders can openly oppose freedom of thought and interpretation, and threaten to indoctrinate us with patriotic education.
