EP: 55 Redvers Buller & The Politics of Memory
I moved, and I’d like to talk about my new city. In particular, the Statue that greets you as you enter. And this means, talking about British imperialism, the politics of memory and the nature of commemoration.
Just remember, I really tried to breathe this time before I let the petty out lol
