How should we describe plantation slavery as an institutionalized and transgenerational structure of dominance? Irreparable Evil, by David Scott, is an intellectual engagement with the insufficiently acknowledged legacy of plantation slavery in the New World. He argues that while slavery involved unimaginable practices of violence, its destructive powers include that of an inherited form of life. The perniciousness of slavery was its legacy as an inheritance of future generations. Scott's locational focus is the Anglophone Caribbean with an emphasis on Jamaica. Written as a series of interconnected essays, Scott consider what he means by moral and reparatory history and the related concepts of incomparable evil and incommensurable evil. He explores the problems of fictional conceptions of slavery's evil and concludes with an interrogation of whether or not the evil of slavery is ever truly reparable"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Slavery |xMoral and ethical aspects |zAmerica. |=^A69482 650 0 Slavery |xMoral and ethical aspects |zCaribbean Area. |=^A69482 650 0 Reparations for historical injustices |zAmerica. |=^A684725 650 0 Reparations for historical injustices |zCaribbean Area. |=^A684725 650 0 Enslaved persons |zAmerica |xHistory. |=^A630862 650 0 Enslaved persons |zCaribbean Area |xHistory. |=^A630862 949 Order on Demand |wASIS |hJOYNER219 960 |o1 |s32.00 |uJSOC |zUSD 961 |fDMD |m138099 596 1 998 6313531
