التعويضات .. العبودية وطغيان الشعور بالذنب الوهمي

Reparations...slavery and the tyranny of imaginary guilt _The book “[Reparations](https://www.allenandunwin.com/browse/book/Nigel-Biggar-Reparations-9781800755598)”_is the second part of the best-selling and widely acclaimed book “Colonialism” by author Nigel Biggar. It is a book of great importance, especially as it is a study in the psychology of guilt. Many now claim that Western countries should pay compensation to former colonies for the permanent damage they inflicted on them, especially through slavery. To what extent is this claim about damages true at all? If true, what should we do about it? “Reparations” removes slogans from a recent trending issue, places it in its proper historical context, and presents a moral counterargument. This book is a natural sequel to Nigel Biggar's widely acclaimed bestseller, Colonialism: A Moral Accounting, and provides a valuable addition to an increasingly important public debate.
