Description

“In The Price of Racial Reconciliation; Ronald Walters offers an abundance of riches. This book provides an extraordinarily comprehensive and persuasive set of arguments for reparations; and will be the lens through which meaningful opportunities for reconciliation are viewed in the future. If this book does not lead to the success of the reparations movement; nothing will.”—Charles J. Ogletree; Jesse Climenko Professor of Law; Harvard Law School “The Price of Racial Reconciliation is a seminal study of comparative histories and race(ism) in the formation of state structures that prefigure(d) socioeconomic positions of Black peoples in South Africa and the United States. The scholarship is meticulous in brilliantly constructed analysis of the politics of memory; reparations as an immutable principle of justice; imperative for nonracial(ist) democracy; and a regime of racial reconciliation.”—James Turner; Professor of African and African American Studies and Founder; Africana Studies and Research Center; Cornell University “A fascinating and pathbreaking analysis of the attempt at racial reconciliation in South Africa which asks if that model is relevant to the contemporary American racial dilemma. An engaging multidisciplinary approach relevant to philosophy; sociology; history; and political science.”—William Strickland; Associate Professor of Political Science; W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies; University of Massachusetts Amherst
