Review Quotes:
"Monument's Lab's groundbreaking Re: Generation functions as both archive and field guide. Through meticulous mapping of how the landscape of U.S. national history occludes and erases, Monument Lab developed Re: Generation to recalibrate our engagement with the past. The book's detailed case studies document how the creation of new monuments can function as a laboratory for new forms and forums of civic participation. Monument Lab: Re: Generation offers its readers a primer for twenty-first-century democratic action."--Mabel O. Wilson, Chair of African American and African Diaspora Studies, and Nancy and George E. Rupp Professor of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation at Columbia University
