Reparations for slavery have become a reinvigorated topic for
public debate over the last decade. Most theorizing about
reparations treats it as a social justice project - either rooted
in reconciliatory justice focused on making amends in the present;
or, they focus on the past, emphasizing restitution for historical
wrongs. Olufemi O. Taiwo argues that neither approach is optimal,
and advances a different case for reparations - one rooted in a
hopeful future that tackles the issue of climate change head on,
with distributive justice at its core. This view, which he calls
the "constructive" view of reparations, argues that reparations
should be seen as a future-oriented project engaged in building a
better social order; and that the costs of building a more
equitable world should be distributed more to those who have
inherited the moral liabilities of past injustices. This approach
to reparations, as Taiwo shows, has deep and surprising roots in
the thought of Black political thinkers such as James Baldwin,
Martin Luther King Jr, and Nkechi Taifa, as well as mainstream
political philosophers like John Rawls, Charles Mills, and
Elizabeth Anderson. Taiwo's project has wide implications for our
views of justice, racism, the legacy of colonialism, and climate
change policy.
