Abstract

ABSTRACT This introduction to the forum outlines the events in Bristol that led to the discussion in the following pages, and makes the argument that, however satisfying it might be to remove celebratory monuments to figures nowadays deemed personae non grata, there are hidden dangers in too zealous an effort to correct urban memory landscapes. Eradicating the celebratory memorialization of those linked to colonial and imperial crimes, of which slavery is the quintessence, may endanger the project of convincing our fellow citizens that contemporary reparation for historic wrongdoing is fair and just.

1引言：去离子明智吗？

摘要论坛简介概述了布里斯托尔发生的事件，这些事件导致了下一页的讨论，并提出了这样一个论点：无论拆除如今被视为不受欢迎人物的庆祝纪念碑多么令人满意，但过于热心地纠正城市记忆景观也存在隐患。取消对那些与殖民和帝国罪行有关的人的庆祝纪念，奴隶制是这些罪行的精髓，可能会危及让我们的同胞相信，当代对历史不法行为的赔偿是公平和公正的。

期刊介绍： Patterns of Prejudice provides a forum for exploring the historical roots and contemporary varieties of social exclusion and the demonization or stigmatisation of the Other. It probes the language and construction of "race", nation, colour, and ethnicity, as well as the linkages between these categories. It encourages discussion of issues at the top of the public policy agenda, such as asylum, immigration, hate crimes and citizenship. As none of these issues are confined to any one region, Patterns of Prejudice maintains a global optic, at the same time as scrutinizing intensely the history and development of intolerance and chauvinism in the United States and Europe, both East and West.
