George Schedler

Racist Symbols & Reparations

Philosophical Reflections on Vestiges of the American Civil War (Studies in Social, Political and Legal Philosophy)

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, George Schedler offers moral and legal perspectives on two legacies of the Civil War: the adoption of the Confederate flag by Southern states and the question of African American reparations. Schedler's analysis of reparations focuses on the principle that whatever the enslaved would have earned and enjoyed had they not been enslaved should determine compensation.
