Description
Irreparable Evil: An Essay in Moral and Reparatory History by David Scott explores the legacy of slavery and its moral and political implications. The book examines the devastating impact of New World slavery on the cultures and ways of life of enslaved people, and how colonial extraction shaped modern capitalism. Scott critiques the limitations of liberal rights-based arguments for reparations, arguing instead that making the urgent demand for reparations requires acknowledging the fundamental irreparability of a wrong of such magnitude.
