Reparations for White supremacy? Charles W. Mills and reparative vs. distributive justice after the structural turn
Drawing on the work of Charles W. Mills and considering the case of reparations to Black Americans, this article defends the “structural turn” in the philosophical reparations scholarship. In the Black American context, the structural turn highlights the structural and institutional operations of a White supremacist political system and a long chronology of state-sponsored injustice, as opposed to enslavement as a standalone historical episode. H…
Defensive Killing by Police
In the United States, police use of force experts often maintain that controversial police shootings where an unarmed person’s hand gesture was interpreted as their “going for a gun” are justifiable. If an officer waits to confirm that a weapon is indeed being pulled from a jacket pocket or waistband, it may be too late to defend against a lethal attack. This article examines police policy norms for self-defense against “uncertain threats” in thr…
Reparations for Climate Change
Reproducing (Historical) Structural Injustice
Contributing to Historical-Structural Injustice via Morally Wrong Acts
Alasia Nuti’s important recent book, Injustice and the Reproduction of History: Structural Inequalities, Gender and Redress (2019), makes many persuasive interventions. Nuti shows how structural injustice theory is enriched by being explicitly historical; in theorizing historical-structural injustice, she lays bare the mechanisms of how the injustices of history reproduce themselves. For Nuti, historical-structural patterns are not only shaped by…
Truth and Reparation for the U.S. Imprisonment and Policing Regime
In the literature on transitional justice, there is disagreement about whether countries like the United States can be characterized as transitional societies. Though it is widely recognized that transitional justice mechanisms such as truth commissions and reparations can be used by Global North nations to address racial injustice, some consider societies to be transitional only when they are undergoing a formal democratic regime change. We conc…
State-Sponsored Injustice
In analytic political philosophy, it is common to view state-sponsored injustice as the work of a corporate agent. But as I argue, structural injustice theory provides grounds for reassessing the agential approach, producing new insights into state-sponsored injustice. Using the case of eugenic sterilization in the United States, this article proposes a structurally-sensitive conception of state-sponsored injustice with six components: authorizat…
Reparations for Police Killings
After a fatal police shooting, it is typical for city and police officials to view the family of the deceased through the lens of the law. If the family files a lawsuit, the city and police department consider it their legal right to defend themselves and to treat the plaintiffs as adversaries. However, reparations and the concept of “reparative justice” allow authorities to frame police killings in moral rather than legal terms. When a police of…
Towards transitional justice? Black reparations and the end of mass incarceration
There are many commonalities between the goals of transitional justice and domestic redress movements. We look at the movement for reparations for enslavement and Jim Crow in the United States as an example of a domestic reparations movement, and argue for the usefulness of the concept of transitional justice. We are particularly interested in showing that a future democratic transition - the end of mass incarceration - could animate a renewed pu…
Many Men Are Good Judges in Their Own Case
Le principe du nemo iudex in causa sua (« nul n’est juge en sa propre cause ») occupe unrôle central dans la théorie contractualiste de John Locke : l’État est pénalement justifié en grande partie à cause du besoin humain pour l’existence d’un système pénal impartial. Dans la pratique judiciaire anglo-américaine, la valeur de l’impartialité est acceptée de manière non critique. Par ailleurs, ceux qui soutiennent la justice restaurative font souve…
