613. Ana Croegaert, Part 1
613 Part 1 of out chat with Ana Croegaert about the removal of Confederate monuments. We also talked to her about her participation in second line parades around the city. “In 2017, the
City of New Orleans removed four segregation-era monuments celebrating
the Southern Confederacy and valorizing white supremacist ideology. As
in other cities, efforts to remove such monuments are not new, and
historically have been connected to collective challenges to racialized
inequality, and more recently to transnational postcolonial struggles.
Given the longstanding activism in favor of removing such monuments I
ask, Why now? In exploring this question, I examine the circulation of
images, talk, and text about the monuments in relation to the city’s
post-2005 political economy and find that people’s expressed sentiments
regarding the statues illuminate the ongoing challenges faced by New
Orleans’ multiracial working-class and poor residents. I argue that the
city administration’s framing of the monuments as emblems of an unequal
past decouples the monuments’ removal from the urgent need to
meaningfully address present inequalities.” “I am a Chicago-based anthropologist working with ethnography,
performance, and artmaking to expand awareness of people’s creative
efforts to deal with the aftermath of harm and to craft hopeful futures.
From coffee cultures to public memorials, my work spans kitchen
cupboards, urban gardens, and city streets to record how people make
meaning in their daily lives.”
