THE PRICE THEY PAID: Slavery, Shipwrecks, and Reparations Before the Civil War
Uncovers one of the earliest instances of reparations in America--ironically, though perhaps not surprisingly paid to slave holders, not former slaves. Any accounting of reparations today requires a fuller understanding of how the debts of slavery have been paid over time and by whom. This work represents a major step forward in that effort.
