Yet, to this day no former slave society in the Americas has paid reparations to former slaves or their descendants. European countries have never compensated their former colonies in the Americas, whose wealth relied on slave labor. Likewise, no African nation ever obtained any form of reparations for the Atlantic slave trade. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Ana Lucia Araujo shows that these calls for reparations have persevered over a long and difficult history. She traces the ways in which enslaved and freed individuals have conceptualized the idea of reparations since the 18th century in petitions, correspondence, pamphlets, public speeches, slave narratives and judicial claims. Drawing on the voices of various peoples who have and do identify themselves as victims of the Atlantic slave trade, it illuminates the multiple dimensions of the demands of reparations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTaking the reader through the era of slavery, emancipation, post-abolition and the present day, this new edition boasts a new chapter that engages with the global impact of the Black Lives Matter movement, the seismic effect of the killing of George Floyd, calls for university reparations and the dismantling of statues. It also includes new comparisons with other calls for reparations from communities such as Native Americans and Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Updated throughout, and with new primary sources, further reading and a timeline of notable events, \u003ci\u003eReparations for Slavery and the Slave Trade\u003c\/i\u003e explores how the history of slavery is as current today as it ever has been.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Lucia Araujo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350297666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350297661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Ana Lucia Araujo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44213115846911,"sku":"9781350297661","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_21b93ea0-f101-49c9-b877-38a1427ebac3.jpg?v=1692112146","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reparations-for-slavery-and-the-ana-lucia-araujo-9781350297661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
