Adam Rosenblatt presents CEMETERY CITIZENS, with Debra Taylor Gonzalez-Garcia, at Flyleaf Books
Flyleaf Books 752 MLK Jr Blvd, Chapel Hill, NCJoin us for a conversation between Rosenblatt and Debra Taylor Gonzalez-Garcia, president of the local organization Friends of Geer Cemetery. In association with the Durham Black Burial Grounds Collaboratory. Across the United States, groups of grassroots volunteers gather in overgrown, systemically neglected cemeteries. As they rake, clean headstones, and research silenced histories, they offer care to individuals who were denied basic rights and forms of belonging in life and in death. Cemetery Citizens is the first book-length study of this emerging form of social justice work. It focuses on how racial disparities shape the fates of the dead, and asks what kinds of repair are still possible. Drawing on interviews, activist anthropology, poems, and drawings, Adam Rosenblatt takes us to gravesite reclamation efforts in three prominent American cities. Cemetery Citizens dives into the ethical quandaries and practical complexities of cemetery reclamation, showing how volunteers build community across social boundaries, craft new ideas about citizenship and ancestry, and expose injustices that would otherwise be suppressed. Ultimately, Rosenblatt argues that an ethic of reclamation must honor the presence of the dead--treating them as fellow cemetery citizens who share our histories, landscapes, and need for care. Adam Rosenblatt is Associate Professor of the Practice in International Comparative Studies and Cultural Anthropology at Duke University and the author of Digging for the Disappeared: Forensic Science After Atrocity (2015) and Cemetery Citizens: Reclaiming Buried Pasts and Working for Justice in American Burial Grounds (2024). He is a co-founder of the Durham Black Burial Grounds Collaboratory and board member of the Friends of Geer Cemetery. He is also a comics creator and recent graduate of the year-long intensive program at the Sequential Artists Workshop, currently conducting interviews of independent comics creators in Durham and the Triangle. Debra Taylor Gonzalez-Garcia is a passionate genealogist. She has worked […]
