Overview

Should reparations be paid for slavery? If so, who would pay them? Could compensation made today possibly atone for centuries-old injustices? As the debate rages on, Reparations for Slavery: A Reader provides a comprehensive guide to the ethical issues, questions, and historical context of this complex issue.

Synopsis

Reparations for Slavery: A Reader is a collection of essays on the topic of reparations for slavery in the United States. Unlike other readers on the topic, the selections in this volume provide rich historical context by giving the reader a vivid sense of the injuries inflicted by slavery, its aftermath, and the continuing history of state-supported discrimination.
