Reviews
"Janna Thompson provides a sophisticated and parsimonious theory of reparative justice" Andrew Schapp, University of Melbourne "Her treatment of reparative justice is superb in all respects. The writing is lucid and elegant, the reliance on relevant scholarship is balanced and informative, the argument is coherent and sustained from start to finish. In short, Janna Thompson has written a truly indispensable book that cannot be ignored by anyone interested in the broad theme of justice in human affairs." Richard Falk, Visiting Distinguished Professor, University of California at Santa Barbara "In this challenging and compelling book, Janna Thompson seeks to tread a careful path between the conflicting claims for reparation and to defend a theory of restorative justice. I found it a thorough, stimulating and well-argued defence of an important theory in applied ethics and political theory. It is scholarly and accessible and should attract much attention." Paul Kelly, Department of Government, London School of Economics and Political Science
