Overview

This profound book by leading socio-legal scholar Joshua Castellino offers a fresh perspective on the lingering legacies of colonization. While decolonization liberated territories, it left the root causes of historical injustice unaddressed. Governance change did not address past wrongs and transferred injustice through political and financial architectures. Castellino presents a five-point plan aimed at system redress through reparations that addresses the colonially induced climate crisis through equitable and sustainable means. In highlighting the structural legacy of colonial crimes, Castellino provides insights into the complexities of contemporary societies, showing how legal frameworks could foster a fairer, more just world.

Reviews

""Blending academic legal insights with political-legal experiences of a practitioner, Joshua Castellino develops a visionary approach to climate policy with colonial injustices, reparations and indigenous rights at its core."" Wolfgang Kaleck, General Secretary of the ECCHR ""In this engaging and erudite book, Castellino argues that reparation for colonial crimes is both necessary and feasible. Employing an invigorated interpretation of the international crime of unjust enrichment, he sets out a persuasive basis for reparation on legal as well as historical grounds."" John H. Knox, Wake Forest University School of Law
