Summary:	"Our main argument throughout this volume is that the traces carved by unrepaired past injustice endure in the political, social, and economic arrangements bequeathed to the present and future: the systems for transmission of property, wealth, status, authority, power. The volume bridges individual cases, discrete histories, and different regions to generate a multinational and multidisciplinary engagement with questions of reparations"--
