Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is about the ways U.S. cities have responded to some of the most pressing political, cultural, racial issues of our time as agentic, remembering actors. Our case studies include New York City's securitized remembrances at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum; Charlottesville's Confederate monument controversies in the wake of the 2017 Unite the Right Rally; and Montgomery's 'double consciousness' at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice and Legacy Museum.
