In this book, the author considers the tangled responses of ever-changing societies to the monuments and commemorations created by past regimes or outmoded cultural and political systems. Drawing from examples around the world, and paying particular attention to the American South, the author looks at social and legal arguments regarding the display, construction, modification, and destruction of public monuments.
