During the age of empire, European and American colonists
perpetrated one of history's most monstrous crimes: slavery.
Millions of Africans were subjected to forced abduction, misery and
death as part of the brutal Atlantic slave trade. However, since
the perpetrators are long dead, should current generations make
reparation for this historic injustice? In this book, Janna
Thompson uses three case studies - France's treatment of Haiti,
Britain's role in the African slave trade, and the plight of
African Americans - to address these questions. She makes a nuanced
case for the necessity of reparations, but argues that the exact
form they take should vary from case to case, depending on factors
both principled and practical. This engaging book is a highly
readable introduction to the issues for students and general
readers grappling with the complexities of reparative justice and
our responsibility for the darkest aspects of our past.
