As they rake, clean headstones, and research silenced histories, they offer care to individuals who were denied basic rights and forms of belonging in life and in death. Cemetery Citizens is the first book-length study of this emerging form of social justice work. It focuses on how racial disparities shape the fates of the dead and what kinds of repair are still possible. Drawing on interviews, activist anthropology, poems, and drawings, Adam Rosenblatt takes us to gravesite reclamation efforts in three prominent American cities. Cemetery Citizens dives into the ethical quandaries and practical complexities of cemetery reclamation, showing how volunteers build community across social boundaries, craft new ideas about citizenship and ancestry, and expose injustices that would otherwise be suppressed. Ultimately, Rosenblatt argues that an ethic of reclamation must honor the presence of the dead - treating them as fellow cemetery citizens who share our histories, landscapes, and need for care"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cemeteries $x Conservation and restoration $z United States. 650 0 $a Volunteers $z United States. 650 0 $a Cemeteries $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Social justice $z United States. 650 6 $a Cimetieres $x Conservation et restauration $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Cimetieres $x Aspect social $z Etats-Unis. 650 6 $a Justice sociale $z Etats-Unis. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Rosenblatt, Adam (Adam Richard). $t Cemetery citizens. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2024 $z 9781503639126 $w (DLC) 2023058086 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619012643.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5DAC0B8E2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
