First, in order to motivate action, CEE discourse induces mortality awareness, death anxiety and grief, and thus furthers the de-sequestration of death and grief. Second, the CEE redirects attention from the death of personally known individuals, to species death;and even if humans survive as a species, it may only be after many billions of humans have died. This anxiety about future collective death arguably comprises a new death mentality. The paper compares and contrasts the CEE with other harbingers of mass mortality such as nuclear war and the Covid pandemic.","PeriodicalId":40045,"journal":{"name":"Mortality","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43991460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, the author traces her time as the Historical Consultant on a project centred on a presumed graveyard for enslaved African Americans that brought forth disparate views and understandings on African American mourning and burial spaces. Over the course of the two-year research, what transpired was how the Friends of Mount Harmon (non-profit who took ownership of the property in 1997) grappled to reckon with their identity as a southern plantation and how this identity shaped and ultimately hindered a fuller more complex understanding of a graveyard for enslaved Africans/African Americans. Ultimately, the author describes the process of coming to understand the graveyard that also provided a new narrative of reimaging it as a site of mourning.","PeriodicalId":40045,"journal":{"name":"Mortality","volume":"28 1","pages":"510 - 525"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49340981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
