| In answer to the last part of your post, Jonathan, I am surprised that you regard 'History Reclaimed' with such suspicion.Do you authomatically dismiss any attempt to question the prevailing view, reflected in the output of the BBC, that the British Empire, was an unmitigated evil? Nigel Biggar, one of the historians summarily condemned by Aarinovitch, is a distinguished academic, formerly Professor of Moral Theology at Oxford. I have not read his book, 'Colonialism' but I have heard him speak. He takes the view that the British Empire was characterised by violence,racism and greed but also by the opposite of these evils. For example, Britain was instrumental in eliminating the onternational slave trade at enormous cost over the nineteenth century. Biggar advises that both sides of empire m, the bad and the good, should be presented. Perhaps the BBC should heed his advice. |
