Rethinking Heritage Crime: Lessons from the Front Lines of America's Unfolding Civil War
Architectures of Slavery: Ruins & Reconstructions, 2020
Heritage crimes are typically conceived to be criminal offenses committed against state heritage property, thus the state. Similarly, heritage criminals are portrayed as individuals who, for example, opportunistically vandalize, steal or smuggle legally protected heritage property. But is heritage crime really so straightforward? What about offenses committed against unofficial, unlisted and unprotected heritage? What about intangible heritage? What about state-sanctioned and other organized forms of heritage crime? In this chapter, America’s national heritage landscape is considered in the context of heritage crime and the November 2016 election of Donald J. Trump as 45th President of the United States. The basis for the chapter is a diary maintained by the author in early 2017 about increasing crime at national heritage sites, Confederate Civil War monuments in particular. Two important lessons from 2017 are that 1) the definition of heritage crime needs to be broad so that organized and institutionalized forms—including state-sanctioned and racially motivated heritage crime—are recognized, and 2) America’s Civil War is not over.
Vatican assassins by Eric John Phelps
“Were God to order me through the voices of my superiors to put to death, father, mother, children, brothers and sisters, I would do it with an eye as tearless, and a heart as calm, as if I were seated at the banquet of the Paschal Lamb. Affirmation of a Jesuit”
This article explores the role of US public interest groups in the promotion of government transparency, as part of a broader agenda on civil liberties. Drawing on a set of declassified documents, and extensive oral testimony from protagonists, it is argued that such groups occupy a significant position as facilitators of intelligence accountability in the United States. Public interest groups represent a tradition of pluralism that lies at the heart of the American conception of democracy. A survey of the tactics deployed by interest groups to support liberal democratic principles demonstrates that these groups always rely on government institutions to carry out their oversight function. By virtue of this, public interest groups support intelligence accountability rather than hold to account the US government and its intelligence agencies.
It Belongs in a Museum: The Confederate Flag and the Comic Corrective
Kenneth Burke’s notion of tragic frames and entelechy can be seen today in the American racial divide and the misuse of Confederate symbols. In this essay, I explore how museal gatekeeping of a Confederate flag in Minnesota serves as a Burkean comic corrective attenuating the erasure of black memory. I will analyze neo-Confederate orthodoxy, Minnesota history, and discourse surrounding the dispute over the flag, to critically analyze how this specific museal display acts as such a corrective.
America is imploding, and the writing has been on the wall for quite some time. However, recent events which took place on August 12, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which an Ultra-Right – fascist, White supremacist, and Neo-Nazi – march ended in a deadly clash with counter-protesters from the Liberal left, can only serve to accelerate, perhaps even accentuate that process. That said, I have a Message to America, a proposal that could very well bring the country a few steps back from the abyss into which our illustrious President seems intent on hurling us.
