"Those who are interested in more current affairs connections to Civil War memory and the conflict's present social and political relevance will want to read this book.-- ""Emerging Civil War"" Hilary Green and Andy Slap, two extraordinary scholars of the Civil War era, have gathered a diverse group of historians to illuminate anti-Black racism in the past and present. The Civil War and the Summer of 2020 offers a mix of well-established and up-and-coming experts who detail topics that are both familiar and unknown--policing, monuments, sports, religion, resistance, and the Civil War's impact on Australia and its Indigenous peoples. This collection of impressive essays takes a much-needed communal approach by having scholars lead history-curious readers back in time to understand the present. This book is essential reading for anyone who understands the importance of a more accurate, complex, and engaging understanding of history as a resource for building a more just world.---Kidada E. Williams, author of I Saw Death Coming: A History of Terror and Survival in the War against Reconstruction, and host of the Seizing Freedom podcast."
