🔴 🇬🇧 **Populism and the Social History of British Anti-Slavery**

Ryan Hanley

“_In the United Kingdom, the abolition of the slave trade and slavery holds a special place in national identity narratives, largely thanks to over a century of celebratory historiography, from the mid-nineteenth century to about the mid-twentieth. While this “Whig tradition” has long since fallen from favor among historians, it enjoys an uncanny afterlife among a certain cross section of right-wing populists._”
