Lee monument in Charlottesville later that summer, debates and conflicts over the memorialization of Confederate “heroes” have stormed to the forefront of popular American political and cultural discourse. In \u003ci\u003eWritten in Stone\u003c\/i\u003e Sanford Levinson considers the tangled responses to controversial monuments and commemorations while examining how those with political power configure public spaces in ways that shape public memory and politics. Paying particular attention to the American South, though drawing examples as well from elsewhere in the United States and throughout the world, Levinson shows how the social and legal arguments regarding the display, construction, modification, and destruction of public monuments mark the seemingly endless confrontation over the symbolism attached to public space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This twentieth anniversary edition of \u003ci\u003eWritten in Stone\u003c\/i\u003e includes a new preface and an extensive afterword that takes account of recent events in cities, schools and universities, and public spaces throughout the United States and elsewhere. Twenty years on, Levinson's work is more timely and relevant than ever.","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247316717912,"sku":"9781478001720","price":94.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781478001720_fb2710ba-a25b-4259-b0f5-815683c13722.jpg?v=1777794357","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/written-in-stone-7","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
