‘An extraordinary intervention. If you want to understand the stakes and the limitations of contemporary conflict over culture and colonial history this bold, provocative book is an indispensable resource’ Paul Gilroy, founding Director of the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Race and Racism at UCL‘Hicks’ must-read book describes how it was possible for a human skull to be made into a drinking cup and used in a genteel Oxford college, well into the 21st century, as if empire were an eternal state of nature . . . Read it to learn new ways to be anti-racist, abolitionist and to tell other stories than those commemorated by the monuments that surround us, from statues, to museums and the police’ Nicholas Mirzoeff, author of White Sight‘Brave and clear-sighted. Hicks opens up an extraordinary conversation between the past and the present. This is a book about falling statues, but so much more. It’s about how we’ve been lied to, and how we can approach the past with honesty. Hicks asks whether history and archaeology should be used to justify actions we know impinge on the rights of others - or to understand ourselves better’ Alice Roberts, bestselling author of Crypt ‘Dan Hicks writes with grace and fierce focus about what we choose to remember and why, in our patterns of thought, our institutions and the built environment in which we live’ Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic ArchitectureThe culture war is over. If you want it to be. It wasn’t even a culture war; it was a war on culture. A sustained attack, Dan Hicks argues, in the form of the weaponisation of civic museums, public art, and even universities — and one that has a deeper history than you might think.

Tracing the origins of contemporary conflicts over art, heritage, memory, and colonialism, Every Monument Will Fall joins the dots between the building of statues, the founding of academic disciplines like archaeology and anthropology, and the warehousing of stolen art and human skulls in museums — including the one in which he is a curator.

Part history, part biography, part excavation, the story runs from the Yorkshire wolds to the Crimean War, from southern Ireland to the frontline of the American Civil War, from the City of London to the University of Oxford — revealing enduring legacies of militarism, slavery, racism and white supremacy hardwired into the heart of our cultural institutions.

Every Monument Will Fall offers an urgent reappraisal of how we think about culture, and how to find hope, remembrance and reconciliation in the fragments of an unfinished violent past. Refusing to choose between pulling down every statue, or living in a past that we can never change, the book makes the case for allowing monuments to fall once in a while, even those that are hard to see as monuments, rebuilding a memory culture that is in step with our times.

Works good
Color: Medium Glow
It smells like tropical scent after putting it on. The smell lingers for about an hour or two. It is not bad though, I like it- reminds me of summer scent. Instant tan works very quick. I am very fair I see no sun so, I put two layers on yesterday and two layers on today. I am significantly tanner. I only use my hands to spread it in, it would work better with less streaks if using a tool to help spread the product evenly. It leaves my skin feeling very smooth and hydrated and I like the color and scent, I like how it has hydrolaunic acid and vitamin c. Works good and stays on. I was able to convince my husband it was good to have because of the hydrolaunic acid and the vitamin c, I said it's a 3-in-1! I also bought this during black Friday week so, got it for a good price.

Quick drying, non sticky lotion!
Color: Medium Glow
Great even color and dries immediately. This formula is not sticky at all. The color may not be as dark as the gel or foam, but is very natural.

Unbeatable Value for the Price!!
I’m so impressed with the packaging of this kit! It came with the cutest little bag, perfect for the pool or beach. The product sizes are much larger than I expected, and the mitt is excellent quality. I haven’t tried everything yet, but I’m really excited to. For the price, this kit is a fantastic value considering how much you get! One small note: the “Gimme the Glow Down” spray could’ve been filled a bit more (see photo). I did test a quick spritz on my face, it felt refreshing, but did have that classic self-tanner scent and left a slight sticky residue. Nothing major, though. I’ll update once I see the full results on other products! UPDATE: I LOVE THESE PRODUCTS! The tan is so even and gives a great glow to my skin. I wash my face twice a day so I use the glow down spray to refresh the tan. I used this self tanner for my engagement photos and it looked like I just came from the beach! (See last photo)

Dark coloring but very streaky and stains easily.
Color: Medium Glow
While it does darken the skin one has to be VERY careful when putting it on. It does stain and it is very streaky and it does stink after wearing it a while so the smell is rather yucky and they advertise that it is not. I had streaks everywhere and unevenness so I ended up ordering a glove to apply it with hoping that will do a better job. I have not tried it yet but am probably going to return one of the 2 bottles I received and hope for a partial refund.
