The myth of New World genocide

On the other side of paywall is Jeff Fynn-Paul’s essay accompanying his webinar with the same name that was posted here on April 5.

This historian carefully debunks any notion of New World genocide.

According to Finn-Paul:

If we manage to restore a modicum of balance to historical discussions of colonialism and European genocide, we will quickly realise that much of what is currently being claimed is exaggerated, and that the opinion of the majority of historians prior to 2010 or so is closer to the truth. Until then, we can expect to be bombarded with opportunist claims for artefact repatriation, reparations, and official apologies. And we can expect that many of our greatest institutions – institutions that have done an unprecedented amount of good for all of humanity, such as when the British monarchy repeatedly helped to end the scourge of global slavery – will continue to be pelted with rhetorical rubbish. 

Please read about the basis for this assertion on the other side of the paywall that originally appeared in a leading British newspaper.
