À propos de cet audio
In this episode of the Canadian Institute for Historical Education podcast, host Allan Williams speaks with distinguished historian Nicholas Rogers, Research Professor Emeritus at York University and author of numerous works on eighteenth-century Britain and the Atlantic world. The conversation centers on Rogers’s recent article in the Canadian Historical Review, “Toronto’s Dundas Imbroglio,” which examines the historical debates surrounding Henry Dundas, slavery, and public memory in Canada. (A free copy of the article is available upon request) The episode opens with a powerful moment from July 26, 1833, when news reached William Wilberforce that Britain had passed legislation to abolish slavery across much of the British Empire—just days before his death. Using this event as historical context, Rogers examines the complexities of abolition, Dundas's role, and how historical figures are remembered and contested today. This thoughtful discussion invites listeners to consider how history, commemoration, and contemporary values intersect.
