Produktbeschreibung

The aim is not consensus but to exhibit better the complexity of the issues involved - a goal which the interdisciplinary nature of the volume furthers - as well as the importance of taking seriously both conceptual issues and the actual politics of reparations.

This volume will be of interest to those working on questions concerning historical injustice and reparations. Its interdisciplinary character and mix of abstract conceptual discussions plus concrete case studies make it unique among recent publications on the subject.
