Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the cultural trauma stemming from the 1963 Birmingham church bombing, the book explores why the deaths of four girls became ingrained in national memory, while two black boys were largely overlooked. Through interviews with former classmates from a nearby white school, the author reveals the profound impact of the bombing on their recollections, highlighting the selective nature of memory. The analysis delves into how white southerners navigate and reconstruct their challenging historical narratives, shedding light on collective remembrance and its implications.
