Publisher Description A concise, reasoned, practical case for why Britain should pay reparations for historic wrongs to present Caribbean owes reparations to the Caribbean. The exploitation of generations of those trafficked from Africa, or born into enslavement, to work the immensely profitable sugars plantations, enriched both British individuals and the British nation. Colonialism, even after emancipation, perpetuated theexploitation. The Caribbean still suffers, and Britain still benefits, from these historic are some fairly standard objections to reparations -- 'slavery ended a long time ago';'Britain should be celebrating its role in abolishing slavery'; 'slavery was legal back then and we shouldn't judge the past by the standards of the present'; 'you shouldn't visit the sins of the fathers on the sons'; and so on. And there is a sense that the practical problems of who should pay what to whom are immensely Banner carefully considers and answers these objections. He argues that reparations are not about punishment, but about the restorationof wrongful gains. In Reparations Now! he makes a specific and practical proposal regarding reparations, picking up on the programme suggested by Caribbean countries (through CARICOM), and taking as astarting point the nearly £20 million paid as compensation by the British government at abolition, not to those who had suffered slavery, but to those who lost enslaved Now! discusses what can be done, here and now, by individuals and institutions, to advance the case for reparations between national governments.
