Reparations

Nigel Biggar

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 'Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning', it makes a powerful contribution to an increasingly prominent public debate.
