"Excellent scholarship that is at once thorough and accessible. This volume painstakingly connects the justification for and the implementation of reparations across the various facets of life, from housing to education and health."--Rhonda V. Sharpe, founder and President of the Women's Institute for Science, Equity, and Race "A magnificent achievement and a sterling work of interdisciplinary scholarship, grounded in the assumption that readers share fundamental values of fairness and equity that transcend time, place, and political affiliation."--Paul Ortiz, author of An African American and Latinx History of the United States"The must-read works assembled by Darity, Mullen, and Hubbard illuminate the insidious consequences of white supremacy that are manifest throughout our country's history and permeate our society today. This handbook sets forth the compelling need for a comprehensive program of black reparations and is an indispensable guide for navigating ground-game complexities to achieve social equity and justice for all."--Susan H. Kamei, author of When Can We Go Back to America? Voices of Japanese American Incarceration during World War II "How do you put a price on the atrocity of slavery, generations of stolen labor, and centuries of lost freedom? Shutting down critics who dismiss any dollar amount as 'just a check, ' Darity and his colleagues deftly show how reparations would be powerfully transformative for Black Americans and lay the foundation for a racially just, equitable society."--Jennifer Lee, Julian Clarence Levi Professor of Social Sciences, Columbia University
