Colonialism, Slavery, Reparations and Trade: Remedying the ‘Past’? Addresses how reparations might be obtained for the legacy of the Trans Atlantic slave trade. This collection lends weight to the argument that liability is not extinguished on the death of the plaintiffs or perpetrators. Arguing that the impact of the slave trade is continuing and therefore contemporary, it maintains that this trans-generational debt remains, and must be addressed. Bringing together leading scholars, practitioners, diplomats, and activists, Colonialism, Slavery, Reparations and Trade provides a powerful and challenging exploration of the variety of available – legal, relief-type, economic-based and multi-level – strategies, and apparent barriers, to achieving reparations for slavery.

"The book presents an arguable case that at the relevant time slavery was illegal....a prima facie case for the illegality of slavery, notwithstanding the difference in the practice followed in the colonies....My thanks to Ms. Wittmann, particularly for the wealth of material she has unearthed." - "Patrick Robinson," (Former President) Judge of the UN International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. "Dr. Nora Wittmann...has written a brilliant work of deeply researched scholarship....The book is particularly valuable in refuting the arguments commonly advanced against the payment of reparations....Most significantly, she rebuts the argument that 'slavery was legal at the time'....In all that I have read on the subject, this argument has never been presented with such wide-ranging and convincing research....Dr. Wittmann is to be highly praised for the huge contribution to the raising of consciousness...through her work on this eloquent, readable and scholarly book." - "Lord Anthony Gifford," QC, lawyer in Jamaica and the UK, legal pioneer for slavery reparations. "Slavery Reparations Time Is Now" breaks important ground on the matter of reparations for transatlantic slavery and European colonialism. It charts the international legal determinates of the matter in detail, as never done before, and should be part of every home library and of our children's curricula. "Slavery Reparations Time Is Now" pertinently retraces the anchorage of the legal entitlement to reparations within a historical international law perspective, exposing simultaneously the intrinsic link between the necessity of comprehensive reparations and solutions to other major problems that threaten human survival on Earth, such as nuclear and industrial pollution, wars and contemporary forced labor. By proving clearly, based on in-depth research, that the practice of transatlantic slavery was illegal throughout the time it was perpetrated, the book topples the dominant legal and political opinion that aims to deny the right to reparations on grounds that "slavery" would have been "legal" at that time. Yet, although argued totally contrary to the hegemonic opinion, "Slavery Reparations Time Is Now" has been welcomed as making a solid case for transatlantic slavery reparations by erudite experts on the matter, such as Patrick Robinson (former President Judge of the UN Tribunal for Ex-Yugoslavia), Hilary Beckles, Verene Shepherd and Anthony Gifford. Recent years have seen a continuous upsurge of the global movement for reparations for transatlantic slavery and colonialism. In response, the powers-that-be are mounting multiple strategies to confuse the public about reparations. It is therefore crucial that the people get their knowledge right about what is legally due. Sticking to international law, reparations have to be economic, educational, historic, and structural. This profound historico-legal analysis provides the ammunition for the final blow to the hegemonic lie that there would be no legal base for slavery reparations, and is presented in a readable way that lay people without legal formation can easily relate to. Yet, although this book clarifies the legal appropriateness of reparations, it is the people who will at last have to take reparations. A passionate and scientifically solid call for justice, "Slavery Reparations Time Is Now" provides guidance to get there, also addressing the role of popular culture movements such as hip-hop and reggae, and highlighting the fact that icons such as Tupac Shakur were advocating reparations. Only when comprehensive reparation is effectuated for transatlantic slavery can the planet get in balance again and humanity live. "Slavery Reparations Time Is Now" also contains never-before published comments on reparations by Ayi Kwei Armah.

With the advent, in the twenty-first century, of the trafficking conventions and the criminalisation of enslavement before the International Criminal Court, the need to establish the black-letter law dealing with human exploitation has become acute. Slavery in International Law sets out the applicable law of human exploitation in the various sub-areas of international law, including general international law, human rights law, humanitarian law, labour law and the law of the sea; so as to create an overall understanding of what constitutes, in law, slavery and lesser types of human exploitation including: forced labour and servitudes such as debt bondage or servile marriage, as set out in the established definition of ‘trafficking in persons’.

What is the just measure of Western obligations to Africa? As Africans and their supporters mark the 200th anniversary of the abolition of the slave trade in the United States and Great Britain, the question becomes increasingly salient. Calls for reparations for the evils of slavery, as well as for past colonial and current economic and political abuses, can be heard across Africa and the African diaspora. Human rights scholar Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann examines these calls for redress in Reparations to Africa. Her study analyzes the reparations movement from the perspectives of law, philosophy, political science, and sociology. While acknowledging the brutal background of the slave trade and colonialism, and the mistreatment of the peoples of Africa, Howard-Hassmann finds that the complexity of this history, along with facts of the contemporary situation, weakens the case for financial compensation, although she does recommend acknowledgment of, and apologies for, some actions. The book not only provides a bold reckoning of the root causes, both internal and external, of African underdevelopment and unrest but also suggests alternative means for restorative justice and examines the role that institutions such as the International Criminal Court can play. By including the voices of 74 African academics, diplomats, and activists interviewed by Howard-Hassmann and Anthony P. Lombardo, Reparations to Africa makes a valuable contribution to the reparations debate. In an emotionally and politically charged postcolonial environment, this book serves as a judicious guide to the search for economic justice for Africans today and into the future.

"Christopher Columbus' voyage changed the world forever because the era of racial slavery and colonialism that it started built the world in the first place. The irreversible environmental damage of history's first planet-sized political and economic system is responsible for our present climate crisis. Reparations calls for us to make the world over again: this time, justly. The project of reparations and racial justice in the 21st century must take climate justice head on. The book develops arguments about the role of racial capitalism in global politics, addresses other views of reparations, and summarizes perspectives on environmental racism"--

This book explores the birth of the African-American international tradition and, particularly, the roots of African Americans' stake in international law. Richardson considers these origins as only formally arising about 1619, the date the first Africans were landed at Jamestown in the British North American colony of Virginia. He looks back to the opening of the European slave trade out of Africa and to the 1500s and the first arrival of Africans on the North American continent. Moving through the pre-Independence period, the American Revolution, the Constitutional Convention, and the Westward Migration, the book ends around 1820. This historical period also roughly corresponds to two other key historical phenomena greatly affecting the Atlantic Ocean basin: the rise of international law as a modern legal system (including European states and their Atlantic colonies) and the rise and flourishing of the international slave trade in African slaves to the Americas by European and New World governments and merchants. Only by placing African slavery in the British North American colonies in the context of the international slave system encompassing and linking the New World can the voices, struggles, demands, claims, and decisions of slaves and Free Blacks in North America towards freedom, relative to their evolving interests under international law, be properly understood. These interests comprise no less than the birth of an African-American international jurisprudence. "This magnificent study by Professor Richardson of the relevance of international law to the struggle of African Americans against slavery and the slave trade of the course of several centuries deserves the widest possible reading. Such an outstanding jurisprudential account of anti-slavery resistance from the perspective of slavery's captives fills a crucial gap in the scholarly literature. It is a great contribution." -- Richard Falk, Albert G. Milbank Professor of International Law and Practice Emeritus, Princeton University, and Visiting Professor of Global and International Studies, University of California at Santa Barbara "Richardson presents a thorough analysis of African American interests in international law and how principles emanating from outside law have historically been linked to Blacks' appeals to quality and freedom. The book is most appropriate for the graduate and professional (law) level and would be suited for courses in African American/American History, Race and the Law, and American Legal History." -- Law & Politics Book Review "Richardson has written a decidedly original and provocative volume that is a fascinating, intriguing, and tremendously informative read... [T]his book is a treasure trove of information... The depth of research, which must be commended, and Richardson's astute analysis make this volume a useful one for any library and an absolute necessity for institutional collections." -- The American Journal of International Law
