Britain, its idealists claimed, was launching an Empire of Freedom. The reality, sadly, was rather different. Europeans, with Brits in the forefront, had developed a love of tobacco, and above all a sweet tooth. They wanted sugar for their cakes and pastries, but above all for their coffee, chocolate and, that new British institution, tea. But sugar production requires backbreaking work under terrible conditions. This was work, and in conditions of heat, humidity and disease, few Europeans felt they could handle. And so Africans were brought in to do it instead. Not voluntarily. The British Empire of Freedom was built, and from early in its existence, on a foundation of slavery.

Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse, U.S. Lighthouse Society photo. Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse is probably the best-known lighthouse in Maryland, and it has many distinctions. It’s the last surviving screwpile lighthouse in Chesapeake Bay, and it’s one of the few lighthouses in the United States to be designated a National Historic Landmark. It’s weathered many storms but it’s now in need of help. John Potvin, left, presents a check for $20,000 for the preservation of Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse to Henry Gonzalez of the U.S. Lighthouse Society (courtesy of John Potvin) John Potvin is a member of the Chesapeake Chapter of the United States Lighthouse Society. He has been a volunteer at Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse for several years. As the preservation foreman, he is actively involved in the bidding and specification preparation for the rehabilitation of the lighthouse, as well as coordinating volunteer schedules and tasks.

Our conversation continues with historian Gabrielle Earnshaw — the founding archivist of the Henri Nouwen Archives in Toronto, Canada. She has been the adviser to the Henri Nouwen Legacy Trust for eighteen years and is consulted throughout the world on Nouwen and his literary legacy. This is part two of a two-part interview. Part one was released last week. She is the editor of several of Nouwen’s posthumously published books, including Love, Henri (a collection of Nouwen’s letters), You Are the Beloved (a collection of daily meditations), and the newly published  Following Jesus: Finding Our Way Home in an Age of Anxiety, based on lectures Nouwen gave at Harvard University in the 1980s. Gabrielle Earnshaw In our conversation, Earnshaw shares not only her insights into the spiritual and literary legacy of Henri Nouwen, but also her own journey into the spirituality of silence — and how curating Nouwen’s archives helped her along the way.

In dieser Episode springen wir zurück ans Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts und sprechen über eine außergewöhnliche Person, die maßgeblich am Erstarken der Menschenrechtsbewegung und später der irischen Freiheitsbewegung beteiligt war. Es geht um Kolonialismus, Nationalismus und schließlich ein verräterisches Tagebuch. Verstärkung hatten wir für diese Folge in Form von Angus Mitchell, Professor an der Limerick University in Irland und Experte für Roger Casement. Vielen Dank nochmals an ihn! Das von ihm in der Episode erwähnte Buch über Casement heißt "Roger Casment: 16 Lives". Das Episodenbild wurde von der National Library of Ireland über Flickr Commons zur Verfügung gestellt.
