British Reparations for Trans-Atlantic Slavery: Lessons from History

Alan Lester, University of Sussex

The abstract :

CARICOM's campaign for Britain to pay reparations for trans-Atlantic slavery has gained momentum with African support within the Commonwealth and a UK promise to discuss the issue at the next Heads of Commonwealth Governments meeting. Theprospect of this discussion has, in turn, prompted a more explicit articulation of anti-reparations arguments from those opposed to any British concessions. In this paper I examines the historical and moral basis of these counter-arguments.
