Settling Claims For Reparations, Daniel Butt Jan 2022

Settling Claims For Reparations, Daniel Butt

Journal of Race, Gender, and Ethnicity

The scale and character of past injustice can seem overwhelming. Grievous wrongdoing characterizes so much of human history, both within and between different political communities.
