Sporting a Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida painting, my post on Why Does Nobody Ever Fret About Scandinavia's — Ghastly — 19th-C Slavery Conditions? has been printed in the December 2020 issue of the New English Review under the title No Frets About Scandinavia's Slavery Past?

It's all a self-inflicted payback for the average American's belief that all history is "American History". As everyone knows, America is the one and only actor on the world stage, and all other lands are mere clay in its hands. Europe has always been wise and enlightened, with the Scandinavians as the most enlightened of all. yadayadayada...I hate saying this, but after living many a decade as an American (a humbly grateful rather than proud one, I like to think), this is my impression.
