"Christopher Columbus' voyage changed the world forever because the era of racial
slavery and colonialism that it started built the world in the first place. The irreversible
environmental damage of history's first planet-sized political and economic system
is responsible for our present climate crisis. Reparations calls for us to make the
world over again: this time, justly. The project of reparations and racial justice
in the 21st century must take climate justice head on. The book develops arguments
about the role of racial capitalism in global politics, addresses other views of reparations,
and summarizes perspectives on environmental racism" ; "Reparations for slavery have
become a reinvigorated topic for public debate over the last decade. Most theorizing
about reparations treats it as a social justice project - either rooted in reconciliatory
justice focused on making amends in the present; or, they focus on the past, emphasizing
restitution for historical wrongs. Olúfemi O. Táíwò argues that neither approach is
optimal, and advances a different case for reparations - one rooted in a hopeful future
that tackles the issue of climate change head on, with distributive justice at its
core. This view, which he calls the "constructive" view of reparations, argues that
reparations should be seen as a future-oriented project engaged in building a better
social order; and that the costs of building a more equitable world should be distributed
more to those who have inherited the moral liabilities of past injustices. This approach
to reparations, as Táíwò shows, has deep and surprising roots in the thought of Black
political thinkers such as James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr, and Nkechi Taifa,
as well as mainstream political philosophers like John Rawls, Charles Mills, and Elizabeth
Anderson. Táíwò's project has wide implications for our views of justice, racism,
the legacy of colonialism, and climate change policy." -- Publisher's description
