This article investigates the cultural memory of the bicentenary of the abolition of the slave trade in Britain. It examines official government responses and considers how these were replicated in popular culture, drawing on the film Amazing Grace. The study highlights the rhetoric employed to distance the past of the transatlantic slave trade from the present, thereby contributing to a process of historical erasure rather than tackling the lingering social and political affects of a traumatic past.View full textDownload full textKeywordsabolition, collective memory, Wilberforce, Amazing Grace , collective guiltRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13825571003588403

机译：本文研究了废除英国奴隶贸易两百周年的文化记忆。它审查了政府的官方回应，并考虑了电影《惊人的恩典》中这些回应如何在大众文化中复制。这项研究强调了用来使跨大西洋奴隶贸易的过去与现在相距甚远的言辞，从而促进了历史擦除的过程，而不是解决创伤过去的挥之不去的社会和政治影响。查看全文下载全文关键字消灭，集体记忆， Wilberforce，Amazing Grace和集体罪状相关变量var addthis_config = {ui_cobrand：“泰勒和弗朗西斯在线”，service_compact：“ citeulike，netvibes，twitter，technorati，delicious，linkedin，facebook，stumbleupon，digg，google，更多”，pubid：“ ra -4dff56cd6bb1830b“};添加到候选列表链接永久链接http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13825571003588403
