WAR ON THE PAST: A WAR ON THE PUBLIC? 

Excellent debate! I missed this on the day so really grateful for the chance to catch it up! Great work again from the formidable Worldwrite team :-) x

This is very good, lots of excellent insights. Points by both Ivan's are quotable and Ms Frawley's dances with bees story is very telling.

Slaves in the Islamic world. Slaves in Africa way before Europeans got involved. Never talked about in the public debate. What about the Slavs. What about millions of white Europeans captured and taken into slavery in North Africa and the Arab lands.

Great debate thanks for sharing

Who are the people that are furthest away from the past to tell us what it is?

Those who don’t know the past…. 1984 told us this would be coming. No one is rewriting African history of self slavery from ancient times to today. AMAZIN.

26:28 I think his definition of decolonization is narrow and abstract. He should define it in the contemporary extreme. I can see it as a euphamism for genocide of the colonizers.

There is a terrible ignorance of history amongst the young.

there's really nothing interesting about using examples from the comments section at a bourgeois conference.
