In our book review this Tuesday, we turn our attention to a powerful new publication that shines a light on voices often pushed to the margins of global conversations. Africans Rising has released a compelling compendium titled “Connecting Reparations Struggles: Stories from the Diaspora.
The book brings together deeply personal accounts, reflections, and testimonies from communities across the African continent and its diaspora, stories of harm, resilience, resistance, and the ongoing fight for justice.
It highlights how the demand for reparations is not just a historical debate, but a living struggle tied to dignity, identity, and collective healing.
In this review, Eunice Adhiambo, who compiled these stories, explores the themes, narratives, and significance of this work at a time when conversations about memory, restitution, and global equality continue to grow louder.
Let’s dive into the book and what it adds to the continent’s broader push for justice and repair.
