Synopsis

This book places a new focus on the restoration efforts and reparations for the African Diaspora through the exploration of artistic practices, restitution of cultural heritage, and the broader concept of 'reparative aesthetics'. The essays in this volume explore these themes and create an insightful overview of the current academic and artistic discourse within the reparations movement across various disciplines. The author emphasizes the urgency of reparations through archival research, interviews, and case studies from contemporary artistic practices around the globe, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the historical and ongoing impact of colonialism and slavery. This book illustrates that reparations are not only about compensation or material restitution but a complex and multifaceted endeavor that challenges oppressive systems and centers the agency of the African Diaspora in the pursuit of justice and self-determination.
