Reparations:
Slavery and the Tyranny of Imaginary Guilt
Many now
claim that Western countries should pay reparations to former colonies for the
lasting damage they caused, especially through slavery. Why is this claim being
made now? How far does it make sense? And, more generally, how can historic
wrongs be righted?
Reparations
removes the sloganeering from a newly fashionable cause, sets the issue in its
proper historical context, and mounts an ethical counter-argument. The natural
sequel to Nigel Biggar's bestselling and widely acclaimed Colonialism: A Moral
Reckoning, it makes a powerful contribution to an increasingly prominent public
debate.
