BIG PAYBACK: THE CASE FOR REPARATIONS/ SLAVERY (HB)

At the abolition of the slave trade two centuries ago, the British government paid huge amounts of compensation to slave-owners. Only in 2015 did British taxpayers stop paying off this debt. Yet the enslaved received nothing, and their descendants may have paid towards the debt of compensation through their taxes. This book explores how we can we resolve the inequality resulting from 400 years of the enslavement of African people and the ongoing racism still suffered by millions across the world.
