Through an analysis of cemeteries throughout the South--including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Virginia, from the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries--this volume demonstrates the importance of using the cemetery as an analytical tool for examining power relations, community formation, and historical memory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGrave History\u003c\/i\u003e draws together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, including historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, and social-justice activists to investigate the history of racial segregation in southern cemeteries and what it can tell us about how ideas regarding race, class, and gender were informed and reinforced in these sacred spaces. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter is followed by a learning activity that offers readers an opportunity to do the work of a historian and apply the insights gleaned from this book to their own analysis of cemeteries. These activities, designed for both the teacher and the student, as well as the seasoned and the novice cemetery enthusiast, encourage readers to examine cemeteries for their physical organization, iconography, sociodemographic landscape, and identity politics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKami Fletcher (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e KAMI FLETCHER is associate professor of History at Albright College. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAshley Towle (Editor) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ASHLEY TOWLE is assistant professor of History at the University of Southern Maine. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 15, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52090950287661,"sku":"9780820365800","price":50.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/grave-history-death-race-and-gender-in-southern-cemeteries-paperback-2945935.webp?v=1780162756","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/grave-history-death-race-and-gender-in-southern-cemeteries-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
