Controversies about Confederate monuments, however, have overshadowed more consequential battles over Civil War memory taking place in American politics, popular culture, and civil society today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Integrating the voices of Civil War historians, public historians, and scholars of contemporary America, \u003ci\u003eThey Are Dead and Yet They Live\u003c\/i\u003e explores the use (and abuse) of Civil War memory in the modern era, from the Civil War Centennial and the civil rights era through the political turmoil of the present day. Moving the conversation of Civil War memory beyond Confederate monuments to crucial debates about the Civil War's usefulness as a frame for understanding America's recent struggles, these essays show how Civil War memory is as politically urgent and socially relevant today as it was a half century ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn M.
