Argument

This issue of the journal Esclavages & Post~esclavages/Slaveries & Post~Slaveries is about reparation claims related to the slave trade and chattel slavery in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This issue aims to comprehend how contemporary social actors link the history of slavery to contemporary debates in order to address the reproduction of unequal geopolitical, social and racial relations. This raises two questions:

  • From theoretical, moral and juridical standpoints, how are reparations defined and justified in the different national contexts and through the transnational circulations of ideas and people?
  • What social actors and institutions represent the reparation movement? What actions to they undertake and what results do they expect from it or have they been able to obtain thus far?

Esclavages & Post~esclavages/Slaveries & Post~slaveries invites scholars from all disciplines of the humanities and social sciences (history, literature, anthropology, sociology, philosophy, political sciences and law) and who explore all geographic areas to submit an abstract to respond to these two research questions and address the various issues they raise. Investigating reparations and exploring claims that are emitted and received either in a national context or at a transnational level updates scholars’ understanding of slavery, as they re-examine aspects they take for granted while highlighting the link with the present.
