SUMMARY:English Research Seminar - Dr Jillian Caddell
DESCRIPTION:This talk will explore how the literal space of Elmira, New York, and efforts across time to preserve and shape memory there evinces multiple articulations of how nineteenth-century African Americans constructed their own versions of history alongside and sometimes in contradistinction to what white Americans envisioned. I read the life stories and fiction of two Elmira citizens--the Black activist and cemetery caretaker John W. Jones and the writer Mark Twain--together to understand how, in the wake of the American Civil War, Black citizens not only thought of the monument as an instrument of white supremacy or a genre of critique, but also as a medium for imagining Black futures. https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/english-research-seminar-dr-jillian-caddell-2/
