Case for Black Reparations - 2nd Edition by Boris Bittker (Paperback)

The Reparations Handbook by Boris Bittker is a groundbreaking book that explores the concept of reparations for African Americans.

Originally published in 1972, this book has been hailed as essential reading for the twenty-first century.

As a white professor of law at Yale University, Bittker may have seemed an unlikely source for such a study, but through his research into the history and theory of reparations, he found that it wasn't a "crazy, far-fetched idea." In fact, African American thinkers have long made the case for compensatory measures to be justified not only for the injury of slavery but also for the setbacks of Jim Crow laws and forced segregation.

This book carefully illuminates historical provisions and statutes for legitimate claims to reparations, national and international precedents, and the obstacles to a national policy of reparations.

With recent books by black scholars and the growth of a vocal reparations movement, this book is more relevant than ever.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to read this influential work that has been called "essential reading" for anyone interested in racial justice.
