The author states, Statues are not really about history but are about how we see ourselves reflected in history....historical memory. She goes on to support this statement with the story of 12 statues that were erected at various times in history and in various countries which have since been destroyed or moved to less prominent locations, due to the realization that "historical memory" and "history" are very different, although sometimes subjective. People tend to defend statues that in some way reflect their identities and values which at times may seem controversial.The list of these 12 statues gives a background on each person represented and what caused their destruction in modern times. Many were dictators, tyrants or colonial invaders and I was surprised that their statues stood as long as they did. In the United State, the destruction of statues honoring the Confederate States of America are the most recent and public. Controversy continues to rage about this as the Civil War will probably forever cause anger due to the issue of slavery and its horrors and inhumanity.This is an interesting book and the author writes without prejudice. It is a quick read and I would recommend it.

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
Cards on the table from the outset, I am one of those historians who saw Colston's statue getting yeeted into the sea in Bristol and immediately thought "Yes, good, History is happening". I have no time and no patience for those who say incidents of statue removal erase History, not least because the number of people I know who knew anything about Colston went from two (me and a mate from Bath) to dozens once his statue took a dunk.Fall Idols is a book about statues getting pulled down in twelve specific instances, and also about the very idea of pulling down statues and what it means for History (capital H). It's no spoiler to say that Alex von Tunzelmann does not think that removing statues erases History, because she is a historian and we know that it doesn't work that way.Indeed, this book looks at why statues go up in the first place. The answers are fairly consistent: it's all about glory and trying to write History in place of what is actually happening or happened.Stalin gets pulled down, and the chapter looks at his efforts to rewrite everything about himself from his name to his relationship with Lenin. Robert E. Lee's statues weren't about celebrating his military prowess (he lost the Civil War) but were put up decades after he died in an attempt to assert white supremacy. Lenin didn't even want statues of himself but the apparatus around him did.There is so much interesting detail in here. Examples are sometimes obvious, but also sometimes less well known, like the awful Rafael Trujillo. Some of the stories are also hilarious - the Portland Elks is a classic farce, but the trolling vandal who spraypainted the Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen with "Racist fish" in 2020 now has my heart.Maybe even give this book to your angry uncle/friend/colleague who thinks …

New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selection
What’s in a statue? British historian Alex von Tunzelmann seeks to answer this as she pens this book that explores twelve statues that have been erected and taken down over the years. Drawing on much of the global reaction to stone and metal monuments to glorify political or historical figures that have been yanked down, von Tunzelmann seeks to better understand why this global movement is gaining momentum and what these statues mean, as well as how they are depicted today. Her exploration is both amazing and detailed, as she tries to parse through rhetoric and get to the core understanding so that the reader has some educated background should they wish to engage in some conversation about the topic.While I could go through the list of statues that von Tunzelmann lists in her book, I would rather leave that to the reader. Rather, it would make sense to look at some of the reasons statues were built. From the pages of the book, I can ascertain three specific reasons that von Tunzelmann feels statues appeared, which correlates with some of what I know about statues in general:* To serve as a form of hero-worship for leaders who hold a firm grip on a country’s people* To commemorate a leader whose service was remarkable to the country’s success* To remind future generations of the impact a person had on society during their lifetimeAs von Tunzelmann mentions, these sentiments are in the eye of the beholder, which can cause triggers.Another theme throughout the book that von Tunzelmann explores is the reaction of those who saw the statue on a daily basis. The first half of the book depicts colonial or suppressed peoples and their having to view these statues on a regular basis. Once there was a change in political or imperial tides, the statues fell, usually …
