Time for Reparations A Global Perspective

Power, Participation, and Private Regulatory Initiatives

Edited by Jacqueline Bhabha, Margareta Matache, and Caroline Elkins

Human Rights Under Supply Chain Capitalism

In this sweeping international perspective on reparations, Time for Reparations makes the case that past state injustice—be it slavery or colonization, forced sterilization or widespread atrocities—has enduring consequences that generate ongoing harm, which needs to be addressed as a matter of justice and equity.

Edited by Daniel Brinks, Julia Dehm, Karen Engle, and Kate Taylor

Time for Reparations provides a wealth of detailed and diverse examples of state injustice, from enslavement of African Americans in the United States and Roma in Romania, to colonial exploitation and brutality in Guatemala, Algeria, Indonesia, Jamaica, and Guadeloupe. From many vantage points, contributing authors discuss different reparative strategies and the impact they would have on the lives of survivor or descent communities.

This volume brings together academics and practitioners from around the world to engage in theoretical analysis, case study exploration, and reflection on a variety of private regulatory initiatives (PRIs) that may certify that actors along the global supply chain conform to certain codes of conduct.
