Cecil Rhodes and Other Statues : Dealing Plainly with the Past, Paperback / softback Book

Cecil Rhodes and Other Statues : Dealing Plainly with the Past Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Like the Pharaohs he admired, Cecil John Rhodes (1853-1902) hoped to be remembered for 4,000 years. Barely 120 years later, many people want him expunged from history altogether. A major figure in the British Empire, he has been the subject of a bitter international controversy. This book sheds new light on a complicated story, relates the history of the Rhodes Scholarships, and suggests common-sense rules for commemorating contested figures as diverse as Robert E. Lee and Mahatma Gandhi..
