Culture Wars, the National Trust, and ‘Green Heritage’ in Britain
The National Trust, Europe’s largest conservation charity, found themselves in the midst of a bitterly unfolding ‘culture war’ over public histories of slavery, empire and colonialism in Britain following the publication of a report outlining connections between these histories and properties in their care in September 2020. The reaction that followed was largely spearheaded by Britain’s right-wing press, an internal pressure group, and several C…
Decolonizing Memory in Bristol
The toppling of enslaver Edward Colston's statue in the former slave-trading port city of Bristol by Black Lives Matter protesters in June 2020 was a seismic event that sent shock waves around the world. It was one action of many in a city that has grappled for over thirty years with how to understand, acknowledge, and commemorate in public its history of enslavement. Written from a position of engaged memory activism, this article reflects on th…
Centenaries, museum audiences and discourses of commemoration
This article explores public attitudes both to the First World War as a historic event and to its Centenary as a commemorative occasion. Through an analysis of exit interviews with visitors to two contrasting Centenary-related museum exhibitions in 2014 and 2018, we place these attitudes within the larger context of the War’s evolving meanings and representations in British society, and the immediate circumstances of the Centenary period. Our res…
Off The Pedestal
This paper considers the fall of the statue of Edward Colston in long historical perspective and reflects on the place of history, memory and 'heritage' within this. The statue has its own long history of protest and challenge, and this paper makes the case for telling the whole history around both its erection and rejection in Bristol
The persistence of memory
The Persistence of Memory is a history of the public memory of transatlantic slavery in the largest slave-trading port city in Europe, from the end of the 18th century into the 21st century; from history to memory. Mapping this public memory over more than two centuries reveals the ways in which dissonant pasts, rather than being ‘forgotten histories’, persist over time as a contested public debate. This public memory, intimately intertwined with…
Reaching for the Impossible
On the basis of 12 months of field research conducted in nine cities in Côte d’Ivoire, this study explores the relationship between demobilization, disarmament and reintegration (DDR) and transitional justice. It finds that suggestions that the two should be totally isolated from one another are both extremely difficult and undesirable in a post-conflict setting where DDR and transitional justice interact frequently and could, in theory, have man…
Persistence of Memory
Ex-combatants thinking differently
Using data from 10 months of field research in Côte d’Ivoire, this article explores the question of why certain groups of ex-combatants in that country are interested in posing a threat to the state, while others are not. It finds that demobilised pro-Gbagbo fighters who have received the least from the post-conflict period are also those most apathetic about threatening the post-war order. The paper argues this is due to expectations among this …
Slavery and Public History at the Big House
This article considers the public history of slavery at plantation museums in the US South and at country houses in Britain. Drawing on original research, the authors critique recent and current efforts to bring connections between these “Big Houses” and the history of slavery to the fore through different methods of interpretation. These elite residences are argued to have largely obscured such connections historically through distancing, distor…
Remembering the imperial context of emancipation commemoration in the former British slave-port cities of Bristol and Liverpool, 1933–1934
This article considers the marking of the centenary of British emancipation in 1933 and 1934 in two former slave-trading provincial port cities, Bristol and Liverpool. Nationally, this centenary was used by the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society to celebrate white abolition heroes and promote contemporary campaigns against ‘modern-day slavery’. However, in Bristol and Liverpool this picture was complicated by both cities’ particular h…
