- Summary:
- This book, published by The University of the West Indies Press in collaboration with the CARICOM Reparations Commission, provides an in-depth exploration of the Caribbean reparatory justice movement. It outlines the historical context of genocide against Indigenous Peoples and the transatlantic trafficking and enslavement of Africans, emphasizing the moral and legal justifications for reparations. The text highlights the CARICOM Ten-Point Plan as a strategic framework for reparations and critiques the lack of acknowledgment or apology from former colonizing nations. Additionally, it examines the role of educational institutions, churches, and civil society in advancing the reparatory justice agenda. Designed to educate secondary school students, especially those studying Caribbean history, the book underscores the importance of understanding reparations as a right rather than an act of charity. It emphasizes the potential of reparatory justice to foster peace, reconciliation, and historical understanding between the descendants of colonizers and those of the victims of colonial atrocities.
