Daniel A. Morris is Associate Professor or Religion, Ethics, and Philosophy at Norwich University, USA.

What are the ethical implications of considering the trans-Atlantic slave trade and its afterlives in the continuing violence of anti-Black racism as a war? Daniel A. Morris shows how asking this question shifts the frame of just war theory and poses uncomfortable yet urgent intellectual challenges. Treating Black political leaders as serious thinkers, Morris presents a surprising tradition of just war reflection that stretches from Harriet Tubman, Denmark Vesey, and David Walker to the Black Power and Black Lives Matter movements.
