PDF-(BOOS)-No Common Ground: Confederate Monuments and the Ongoing Fight for Racial Justice

When it comes to Confederate monuments there is no common ground Polarizing debates over their meaning have intensified into legislative maneuvering to preserve the statues legal battles to remove them and rowdy crowds taking matters into their own hands These conflicts have raged for well over a centurybut theyve never been as intense as they are today In this eyeopening narrative of the efforts to raise preserve protest and remove Confederate monuments Karen L Cox depicts what these statues meant to those who erected them and how a movement arose to force a reckoning She lucidly shows the forces that drove white southerners to construct beacons of white supremacy as well as the ways that antimonument sentiment largely stifled during the Jim Crow era returned with the civil rights movement and gathered momentum in the decades after the Voting Rights Act of 1965 Monument defenders responded with gerrymandering and heritage laws intended to block efforts to remove these statues but hard as they worked to preserve the Lost Cause vision of southern history civil rights activists Black elected officials and movements of ordinary people fought harder to take the story back Timely accessible and essential No Common Ground is the story of the seemingly invincible stone sentinels that are just beginning to fall from their pedestals.

When conflict and division are everyday realities, our instincts tell us to close ranks, to find the safety of those like us, and to blame others. This book profoundly shows that in order to have the difficult conversations required for working toward racial justice, inner work is essential. Through the practice of embodied mindfulness--paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in an open, nonjudgmental way--we increase our emotional resilience, recognize our own biases, and become less reactive when triggered.As Sharon Salzberg, New York Times-bestselling author of Real Happiness writes, Rhonda Magee is a significant new voice I\'ve wanted to hear for a long time--a voice both unabashedly powerful and deeply loving in looking at race and racism. Magee shows that embodied mindfulness calms our fears and helps us to exercise self-compassion. These practices help us to slow down and reflect on microaggressions--to hold them with some objectivity and distance--rather than bury unpleasant experiences so they have a cumulative effect over time. Magee helps us develop the capacity to address the fears and anxieties that would otherwise lead us to re-create patterns of separation and division.It is only by healing from injustices and dissolving our personal barriers to connection that we develop the ability to view others with compassion and to live in community with people of vastly different backgrounds and viewpoints. Incorporating mindfulness exercises, research, and Magee\'s hard-won insights, The Inner Work of Racial Justice offers a road map to a more peaceful world.
