Well-researched and discriminating.
(Michael Ignatieff New York Times Book Review)Both an invaluably detailed catalog of various groups' past and present claims for restitution and a theoretical consideration of the idea's practicality and morality, this book will no doubt take its place as the starting point for a full understanding of these highly complex issues.
(Jonathan Groner Salon)Tightly focused, highly readable.
(Shashi Tharoor Los Angeles Times Book Review)A remarkably lucid and even-handed account... Barkan makes a persuasive case that, despite all the difficulties, the recent vogue for apologies and restitution should be welcomed.
(Economist)[One of] the most important books of the year... Magisterial... Destined to dominate future discussion... Primed to become a bible for all, from Holocaust survivors to African American activists, who believe reparations for historical wrongdoing are possible.
(Carlin Romano Philadelphia Inquirer)An important and very necessary addition to post-Cold War political discourse.
(Kirkus Reviews)Barkan's presentation of these cases [for restitution] is comprehensive and interdisciplinary. His knowledge of local cultures, history, sociology, and international law meets the book's high demands. Although there is no doubt that he welcomes the whole process of restitution, his evaluations of the complicated cases are quite well balanced.
(Waldemar Hanasz American Political Science Review)A welcome contribution to the literature... Most works focus on one case study or possibly a handful of very similar ones, but rarely attempt comparison across a wide spectrum of historical injustices. The book's comparative framework allows us to see how seemingly different cases engage many similar issues, and how 'reciprocity' and negotiation can take myriad forms. Its clear writing style and even-handed accounts makes The Guilt of Nations an excellent book for graduate and undergraduate courses on large-scale violence.
