Sobre IBD

Many now claim that Western countries should pay reparations to former colonies for the lasting damage they caused, especially through slavery. Why is this claim being made now? How far does it make sense? And, more generally, how can historic wrongs be righted? Reparations removes the sloganeering from a newly fashionable cause, sets the issue in its proper historical context, and mounts an ethical counter-argument. The natural sequel to Nigel Biggar’s bestselling and widely acclaimed Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, it makes a powerful contribution to an increasingly prominent public debate.

Or they believe that war is wicked, essentially involving hatred of the enemy and carelessness of human life. Or they posit theabsolute right of innocent individuals not to be deliberately killed, making it impossible...
