Beschreibung:
"This remarkable book addresses an issue as old as civilization and as topical as this morning's newspaper. No reader of Levinson's cultivated, nuanced, and balanced narrative will ever view a public monument in quite the same way."--Norman Dorsen; President, ACLU, 1976-1991
Is it "Stalinist" for a formerly communist country to tear down a statue of Stalin? Should the Confederate flag be allowed to fly over the South Carolina state capital? Is it possible for America to honour General Custer and the Sioux Nation, Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln? This title deals with these questions.
