`Moral Eyes is based on interviews with university students in four
African countries: Cameroon, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and South
Africa. Each country exemplifies a distinctive axis of
discrimination and privilege-religion, language, ethnicity, and
race-though with a good deal of intersectional overlap. The authors
use the interviews to theorise about deep issues of injustice,
history, and restitution. Through an emphasis on the historical
dimension of contemporary injustice, they insightfully expand the
familiar moral framework of victim-perpetrator-bystander to include
`inheritors of unjust benefit' and `resisters'. They also reveal
significant differences in how historical memory plays out in these
four countries. Global North readers, of whom I hope there will be
many, will derive great illumination from seeing familiar issues of
social justice discussed in a wholly African context, including a
diversity unlikely to be familiar to these readers. Moral Eyes is a
wonderful book and an excellent contribution to the literature on
moral education, social justice, and the moral character of
transitions to a more just society.'
