Storying History: Lifting the Lid
<p>Storying History: Lifting the Lid</p> <p>In this episode of Storying History, ‘Lifting the Lid through Literature’, we will be looking at the effectiveness of using narrative literature as a tool to give children a more comprehensive overview of how life could be for those who were forced into an enslaved existence. Our discussion is inspired by the themes of violence, innocence and also the idea of perspective, as they relate to 3 particular books which have recently been proposed as additional reading material for key stage three: Quaco, Als slavin geboren, Hoe mooi wit ik ben. And we will voice our opinion as to how accessible we find these books to be for a younger audience.</p> <p>This episode is hosted by the documentary maker: Ethan S-C, and joining him for the discussion will be the renowned children’s book author Tyler D, as well as the historian who owns a multitude of aliases and even more colourful suits, Nathanael F. </p> <p>References: </p> <p>Dolf Verroen, Hoe mooi wit ik ben (Amsterdam: Leopold, 2016)</p> <p>Marian Hoefnagel, Als slavin geboren (Amsterdam: Eenvoudig Communiceren, 2014) </p> <p>Ineke Mok en Erik Heuvel, (Oosterhout: UitgeverijL, 2022)</p> <p>Anton de Kom, Wij Slaven van Suriname (Amsterdam: Contact, 2020)</p> <p>Gloria Wekker, White Innocence (Durham: Duke University Press, 2016 </p> <p>Music: Bensound.com/royalty-free-music</p> <p>Licence code: NAOYFZAEDJU6CICS</p> <p><br></p>

Storying History: ‘How Do I Put…?’,
<p>Have you ever had the feeling that you want to contribute to an important conversation but have been held back by the fear of saying the wrong thing? </p> <p>Us too. </p> <p>This is why we’ve named this episode of the Storying History series ‘How Do I Put…?’, where we talk about how we can engage in the tricky but necessary conversations surrounding how we represent colonial history. Sophie Moss and Beth Tasker, two students of Dutch Studies at the University of Sheffield, take the first step in opening the conversation by honing in on three examples of Dutch children’s literature and how they each offer very different representations of slavery and colonialism. These are Quaco (Ineke Mok, 2015) Als Slavin Geboren (“Born as a Slave” - Marian Hoefnagel, 2014) and Hoe Mooi Wit Ik Ben (How Beautifully White I Am - Rudolf Verroen, 2016). </p> <p>The focus of this podcast, and especially this episode, is not about knowing everything already, but being open to learning. Our discussion is based on what we can learn from each of these texts, and how we can start to bridge the gap between being willing to learn and actively discussing and acquiring knowledge. </p> <p>We hope you’ll join us. </p> <p>Bibliography:</p> <p>Admin, ‘Toelichting bij “Hoe Mooi Wit Ik Ben”’, Kinderboeken.nl, 2020 <<a href="https://www.kinderboeken.nl/inspiratie/toelichting-bij-hoe-mooi-wit-ik-ben/">https://www.kinderboeken.nl/inspiratie/toelichting-bij-hoe-mooi-wit-ik-ben/</a>> [accessed 20 May 2023]</p> <p> </p> <p>Ekow Eshun. ‘Exploring the Black Atlantic’, Tate, 2021 <<a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/b/black-atlantic/exploring-the-black-atlantic">https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/b/black-atlantic/exploring-the-black-atlantic</a>> [accessed 22 May 2023] </p> <p>Hartman, Saidiya. ‘Intimate History, Radical Narrative’, The Journal of African American History, 106.1 (2021), 127–35 </p> <p>Hoefnagel, Marian.

Storying History: Literary Voices - It’s not all Black and White
<p><strong>‘Storying History: Literary Voices’ - It’s not all Black and White: Time to tell children the truth about slavery</strong></p> <p>In this podcast we talked about the sensitive topic of slavery with particular reference to the role of the UK and The Netherlands. This podcast includes host, Elsie, along with two guests: Primary school teacher, Britt Van der Veen, and Author and Publisher, Hillary Baker. </p> <p>The focus of this podcast is on three works of children’s literature and their importance to the cultural archive and how appropriate they are to current discussions. Elsie and her guests mull over the difficulties of relating the horrors of slavery to children and how and when this should be done. This is the beginning of an important conversation about society, and the inclusion of the unpleasant parts of our history in the school system. </p> <p>References</p> <p>Als slavin geboren (no date).
