This volume contributes to these debates by focusing the attention of a group of highly distinguished international experts on the ways that reparations claims figure in contemporary political and social justice movements. Four broad types of reparations claims are examined, those involving indigenous peoples, the legacy of slavery in the United States, victims of war and conflict, and colonialism. In each instance, scholars and activists argue about the character of the injustice for which reparations are owed, why it is important to take these demands seriously, and what form redress should take. 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.

Shipping terms
Orders usually posted within 2 business days. All books are sent in bubble wrap within a secure cardboard mailer. The weight indicated on some listings is the estimated packed weight rounded up for postal purposes.
For orders within the United Kingdom most items will be posted by Royal Mail Tracked; with more expensive items Tracked and Signed. The tracking number will be updated on the AbeBooks order system. I will not generally contact you for extra postage, unless noted in listing.
Overseas orders are sent by Airmail, 'International Tracked'. I will notify you the tracking number by email; which can then be used to control your delivery with your local deliverer. If the shipment is heavier than average, I may contact you for extra postage, but this is very unusual.
Because of recent packaging regulations I cannot at the moment accept orders from the European Union. My apologies.
