Katherine Franke makes a powerful case for reparations for Black
Americans by amplifying the stories of formerly enslaved people and
calling for repair of the damage caused by the legacy of American
slavery. Repair invites readers to explore the historical context
for reparations, offering a detailed account of the circumstances
that surrounded the emancipation of enslaved Black people in two
unique contexts, the Sea Islands of South Carolina and Davis Bend,
Mississippi, Jefferson Davis's former plantation. Through these two
critical historical examples, Franke unpacks intergenerational,
systemic racism and white privilege at the heart of American
society and argues that reparations for slavery are necessary,
overdue and possible. Katherine Franke is one of the nation's
leading scholars writing on law, racial justice, and African
American history. Her first book was Wedlocked: The Perils of
Marriage Equality. She is the Sulzbacher Professor of Law, Gender
and Sexuality Studies at Columbia University and chair of the board
of Trustees of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
