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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471552528620,"sku":"9781509516421","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509516421-should-current-generations-make-reparation-for-slavery.jpg?v=1775246503"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/janna-thompson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
