Against the backdrop of racialized mass incarceration, policing, and state surveillance, a chasmic racial wealth gap, racially disparate health outcomes, environmental racism, flagrant seizures of indigenous land, and a growing skepticism of liberal and corporate multiculturalism, a revitalized reparations movement has reemerged, challenging the intergenerational effects of white supremacy. However, demands for reparations, whether at the federal or municipal levels, remain encircled by technical, theoretical, and ideological debates. What is the moral basis for reparations? Does the history of racial exploitation, broadly conceived, explain present-day racial inequality? Who should pay for reparations and what group(s) should receive them? And, fundamentally, what actually constitutes “reparation?” In this course, we turn to these questions and more.
