Overview
Who merits being commemorated in stone and why?
Many statues are fundamentally linked to the most shameful eras of humanity: empire-building, the slave trade and exploitation.
Challenging and debating the worth and place of statues in our contemporary world, this book includes some of the most contentious statues that still dominate our public spaces including Edward Colston, Cecil John Rhodes, Queen Victoria and Winston Churchill. Milly Williamson discusses the value and meaning of historical statues today and asks if, ultimately, it is time we stopped erecting statues altogether.
