Join us in congratulating Dr. Christopher Fennell on his 2025 book publication. Combating Oppression with New Commemorations examines the ways in which marginalized groups can confront oppressive regimes through commemorations and advocacy of their own heritage. Case studies include an introduction chapter by Fennell and a study of "What Would Mother Jones Have Said? The Progressive Miners of America and Their Monument," by Prof. Helaine Silverman. The book is available here.
