Description

This illustrated collection of essays examines the controversy surrounding the use and display of Confederate symbols in the modern South.

Prominent scholars from many disciplines explore the battle between pro-Confederate-symbol forces (traditionalists) and anti-Confederate-symbol forces (reconstructionists) as they struggle to reconcile the values and customs of a racially conservative Old South and a racially liberal New South.

Should the Confederate battle flag continue to fly atop a state capitol dome, or does this ""official"" display violate the constitutional rights of some citizens?

Should Confederate flags and monuments be removed completely from the landscape?

Should public funds be used to maintain Confederate monuments on courthouse lawns, traffic islands, and public facilities?

These are a few of the questions addressed in this collection.
