Beskrivning
A Telegraph Book of the Year 2025'Compelling and timely' Tirthankar Roy'Essential reading' David EltisMany 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.

Recensioner i media

‘It’s the word on the lips, and in the ears, of every institution with colonial money in its past – but, argues Biggar, a theologian and historian, the demands for “reparations” are born of lazy group-think, not serious inquiry. Activists everywhere ought to read this polemic, and start again’ - Telegraph Books of the Year
