Afterword
View through CrossRef
This chapter meditates on the experience of living in the wake of two American revolts-the international uprisings during the summer of 2020 in response to the murder of George Floyd and the white supremacist insurrection at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021. In the aftermath of the revolts, the chapter suggests, readers might be prompted into increasingly critical examinations of their interactions with and the proliferation of the symbols, systems, and ideologies of white power in both digital and material spaces. The chapter then goes on to detail the author’s experiences with the Denton Confederate Soldier Monument in Denton, Texas, suggesting that its recent removal offers a tentative place to begin imagining new futures.
