Reparation and World Remaking
An interdisciplinary approach to fundamentally reordering the structures of colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism
Description
Reparations are not only about money, legal remedy, or moral repair. They are about the radical reimagining and remaking of a world still deeply scarred by colonialism, slavery, and racial capitalism. Bringing together scholars, activists, and practitioners from across the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States, Australia, and beyond, Reparation and World Remaking asks what genuinely transformative reparations might look like—and shows that, in many places, they are already underway.
Drawing on theorizations from Indigenous, Black, feminist, First Nations, and critical antipodean traditions, the volume extends reparative thinking by attending to the contributions of scholars of decoloniality, post-development, abolition, feminism, community economies, and environmental and climate justice. Reparation and World Remaking illuminates the many ways world remaking reparations are already being envisioned and enacted, in communities and movements across the globe.
