Reparation

More about the book

The transatlantic slave trade from West Africa into the Caribbean and the wider Americas was one of the worst mass human atrocities on record. It is undeniable. As this publication so compellingly makes clear, Britain needs to not only fully accept responsibility for the horrible reality of its central leadership role in the slave system, but also seek forgiveness from, and negotiate a process of compensation with, the descendants of the slave population in the Caribbean.
