#GoodBooks – Newly featured in Charleston Good’s Bookshop
Check out our new featured book:
Reconsidering Reparations
Olúfhemi O Táíwò (Author)
“Weaving together the long-held redistribution demands of revolutionary movements for racial justice and decolonization with the scientific imperative for immediate climate action, Olúfhemi O Táíwò builds the irresistible case for decarbonization through reparation. Coursing with moral urgency and
propelled by brilliant prose, this is more than argument. It’s how we build the power needed to win.” — Naomi Klein, Author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate
