This view was echoed by Dresser who, in considering the impact on black students of keeping statues redolent of colonialism, questioned whether they would feel excluded by a ‘white imagination’.34 Maintaining that we need ‘new statues to new heroes’, historian Clare Wright contended that new statues would tell stories and start conversations about the ideas and forces that have made modern Australia, stories of colonialism and postcolonialism, of imperialism and republicanism, of genocide and assimilation, of war and of peace, of exclusion and inclusion, and of alienation and belonging.35 On the other hand, Dresser cautioned that calls for new statues in Britain dedicated to enslaved Africans or new inscriptions on existing statues have been resisted with arguments including you can’t rewrite history or disparaging comments about ‘political correctness’.36 The idea of erecting new statues suggests that public art may have a role to play in reconciliation. keywords: aboriginal; australia; city; gregory; history; memory; monuments; new; online; past; people; perth; premier; review; statue; vol; western; yagan cache: phrj-7504.pdf plain text: phrj-7504.txt item: #62 of 99 id: phrj-7512 author: Yeats, Christine title: Should They Stay or Should They Go? date: 2021-06-22 words: 1741 flesch: 54 summary: Suggestions as to the fate of unwanted statues include breaking them and returning the resulting dust and metals to the soil; reinterpreting them to provide both sides of history with the use of modern technology; adding plaques to explain history from a modern perspective and interpretation; taking the statues off their plinths to bring them down to our height; adding statues of victims as a means of offering a reinterpretation of the past; moving them from their present location and placing them in museums where they could be contextualised and interpreted from varied perspectives or using them to create statue parks.

Their publication Challenging Racism explored the strategies implemented in a range of schools.24 From the early 1990s academics particularly emphasised black history including Kushner and Lunn who edited The Politics of Marginality.25 In 1991 the Black and Asian Studies Association (BASA), a public organization, was developed ‘to foster research and to disseminate information on the history of Black peoples in Britain’.26 Beyond the status quo of the government’s proscriptions on black history, radical teachers, such as Martin Spafford, developed black history in schools, though this was not a common practice. keywords: bristol; hilda; history; kean; london; people; slave; statue; vol cache: phrj-7763.pdf plain text: phrj-7763.txt item: #70 of 99 id: phrj-7776 author: Moody, Jessica title: Off The Pedestal date: 2021-06-22 words: 2692 flesch: 53 summary: In many ways, the cult of Colston, which gathered pace in the late nineteenth century, wasn’t all that much about Edward Colston the person at all.

Major John André was a British army officer involved in the American Revolutionary War who is well- known in history not only for plotting with the notorious Benedict Arnold (who was an officer of the American Continental Army before he defected to the British side, with Arnold’s name becoming synonymous with the word ‘traitor’) to betray the strategic fort of West Point but also for being caught behind American lines and hanged as a British spy in October 1780 in Tappan, a town in New York State.19 In 1879, the site of his execution and initial burial (before his body was repatriated to England in 1821 to instead lay in glory within Westminster Abbey) was marked by a large granite monument, paid for by American businessman Cyrus W.

Eager to experiment with the strategies outlined in this collection in ways that also respond to Clare Wright’s proposal that we need ‘new statues for new heroes’, Lindsey offers a hypothetical artist brief for a little-known female colonial artist, republican and mystic named Adelaide Ironside (1831-1867), whose status as a member of the so-called ‘native-born’ (early generation European-Australians born in the colony) implicates her in Australia’s colonial project in ways that demand careful consideration.19 To address the fact, noted by Baxter, that our memorial landscapes still largely celebrate white men, Lindsey proposes a new monument based upon the Yurong peninsula of the Sydney’s Botanic Garden in a place where Ironside once dared to step in the public sphere and assume her own voice before a large male audience.20 Engaging with ideas proposed by both Ballantyne and Yeats, she also suggests consciously grounding this monument on Gadigal country and surrounding it with the local wildflowers Ironside painted, in ways that might both ‘re-surface’ the First Nation’s people and their millennia-old use of these plants and problematise Ironside’s status as a colonial agent. keywords: australia; collection; communities; cook; history; june; lindsey; new; past; public; review; smith; statue; sydney; vol; wars cache: phrj-7789.pdf plain text: phrj-7789.txt item: #75 of 99 id: phrj-7859 author: Li, Na title: Public History date: 2022-02-18 words: 7691 flesch: 42 summary: How Can Public History Contribute?

But as Thomas Cauvin and Ciaran O’Neill have noted, this does not mean that they regularly engage with the public in the way that public historians understand, that is, as equal participants in building historical knowledge.2 There are a range of courses which are teaching a new generation of historians how to be public historians (in the participatory sense) through MA degree courses in Public History at Queen’s University Belfast (Northern Ireland), Public History and Cultural Heritage at the University of Limerick, and Public History at University College Dublin (both in the Republic), in addition to an MPhil degree in Public History and Cultural Heritage at Trinity College Dublin, as well as several MAs training new generations of museum practitioners and archivists. keywords: events; history; ireland; irish; island; march; museum; northern; northern ireland; online; public; women cache: phrj-8376.htm plain text: phrj-8376.txt item: #93 of 99 id: phrj-8377 author: None title: Prosuming History in China: A Paradigm Shift date: None words: 5742 flesch: 43 summary: Prosuming History in China: A Paradigm Shift Public History Review Vol. 30, 2023 ARTICLES (PEER REVIEWED) Prosuming History in China: A Paradigm Shift Na Li East China Normal University Corresponding author: Na Li, linalarp@gmail.com DOI: https://doi.org/10.5130/phrj.v30i0.8377 Article History: Published 30/03/2023 Keywords Prosumption; Public History; China; Prosumer; Paradigm; Media Technology; Historical Thinking; Digital Dictatorship Introduction A dazzling range of public histories emerged in China at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
