Vestens dominans og imperialisme
Susanne Ørnstrøm
In this new assessment of the West’s colonial record, Biggar makes clear that, like any other long-standing state, the British Empire involved elements of injustice, sometimes appalling, but from the early 1800s was committed to abolishing the slave trade in the name of a Christian conviction of the basic equality of all human beings. He offers a moral inquest into the colonial past, forensically contesting damaging falsehoods.
