He sets out a practical and feasible plan for immediate, low level action on how to get it done; and for the broad, longer-term vision of national action. I believe that this treatise will become a classic. * Ikechukwu Achebe, Hunter College, The City University of New York * One of Britain's most acute and independent ethical thinkers here sets out the case for reparations to those whose ancestors suffered from the Atlantic slave trade, and does so with exemplary clarity and force. Detailing the shameful history of the trade, and countering all the commonest arguments against reparations, Banner presents one of the most powerful cases yet for an urgent new look at an imperative most of us still - embarrassingly - do not want to attend to. * Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury * Author InformationMichael Banner is Dean and Fellow of Trinity College, University of Cambridge, having previously held chairs in the University of Edinburgh and at King's College, University of London.
