The Black Lives Matter campaign has forced a reassessment of monuments that commemorate historical figures in public spaces. One of these, a statue of General Lord Roberts, stands in Glasgow, once the Second City of the Empire. A critical reading of this monument as a memorial text in a landscape of power contrasts the intended heroic depiction of Roberts with the excluded histories of those who were on the receiving end of his actions. I consider possible courses of action in determining what should be done with this memorial, recommending against its removal. Keeping the monument in its privileged public space without further action will not do. Arguing that the Roberts memorial is educationally valuable, despite and because of its celebration of Roberts as a hero of Empire, I defend its potential role in postcolonial and postimperial education.

帝国之后的古迹？帝王雕像的教育价值

“黑人生活问题”运动迫使人们重新评估了纪念公共场所历史人物的古迹。其中之一是罗伯兹勋爵将军的雕像，立于曾经是帝国第二城市格拉斯哥的雕像上。对该纪念碑作为权力环境中的纪念文本的批判性阅读将罗伯茨的英勇描写与那些受其行动接受的人们的历史排斥在外。我考虑了在确定该纪念馆应采取的行动时可能采取的行动，建议不要将其删除。如果不采取进一步措施，将纪念碑保留在特权的公共空间中是不会做的。尽管罗伯茨纪念馆因庆祝罗伯茨为帝国英雄而受到表彰，但我认为罗伯茨纪念馆具有教育意义，我捍卫了它在后殖民和后帝国教育中的潜在作用。
