The legal framework protecting Confederate monuments -- Conclusion. 520 $a "Professor of Law at Catholic University Roger C. Hartley provides a thorough overview of the issue of Confederate monuments and their problematic presence on the American landscape. He examines and dissects competing claims regarding the removal of these monuments from public spaces ... mov[ing] readers through various debates on the subject ...with the compelling logic of a legal scholar ... methodically build[ing] the case that 'Confederate monuments harm contemporary American society by perpetuating antiblack racial stereotyping and systemic racism.' This harm, he continues, 'overrides even good faith claims to leave Confederate monuments undisturbed in order to preserve Southern heritage.' In the course of building this case for material harm, Hartley nonetheless offers his own good faith discussions of competing arguments for retaining Confederate monuments in situ. While these include 'heritage' claims, they also include those sometimes heard from historians and historic preservationists regarding the significance of monuments as teaching tools and the dangers of 'sanitizing' the historical landscape. While Hartley's argument ultimately makes a compelling case for removal/relocation as the optimal choice, he does not dismiss the alternative arguments. Instead, he deconstructs each and examines them for potential flaws in a way that will force readers to examine their own beliefs"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Soldiers' monuments $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Collective memory $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Racism $z Southern States. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Southern States $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a United States $x Social aspects $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x Monuments $x Social aspects $z Southern States. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Race relations. 650 7 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799698 650 7 $a Race relations $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Racism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086616 651 7 $a Southern States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244550 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1861-1865 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hartley, Roger C., $t Monumental harm $d Columbia : University of South Carolina Press, 2021. $z 9781643361703 $w (DLC) 2020041063 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A131FD64CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
