Books which address the on-going debate about Confederate monuments on public grounds, the naming of U.S. Army bases after those who fought against the U.S. Army (i.e. Confederates), the glorifying of "Plantations" (i.e. slave labor farms), and related topics...regardless of which side of the debate they're on.
