Description
Britain owes reparations to the Caribbean. The exploitation of generations of those trafficked from Africa, or born into enslavement, to work the immensely profitable sugars plantations, enriched both British individuals and the British nation. Colonialism, even after emancipation, perpetuated the exploitation. Michael Banner argues that reparations are not about punishment, but about the restoration of wrongful gains. He proposes a specific and practical approach to reparations, building on existing programmes suggested by Caribbean countries. This book explores what can be done, here and now, by individuals and institutions, to advance the case for reparations between national governments. Reparations Now! offers a concise and reasoned case for why Britain should pay reparations for historic wrongs to present Caribbean inhabitants.
