During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, European and American colonists perpetrated one of history s most monstrous crimes: slavery. Millions of Africans were forcibly abducted from their homes and subjected to misery, humiliation and death as part of the brutal Atlantic slave trade.

Recenzje

This excellent book does a highly impressive job of making an important and substantive contribution to the literature on historic injustice.
Daniel Butt, University of Oxford

Janna Thompson makes a persuasive argument for reparations for slavery in the cases of Haiti, African Americans, and African victims of the British slave trade. This is an excellent short teaching text for courses on transitional justice and those dealing with contemporary political problems.
Rhoda Howard–Hassman, Wilfrid Laurier University
