'This book covers a significant gap in the literature on global justice by focusing on an important topic: that of rectificatory justice for past international injustices It corners a nice niche and should serve as a reference point for future discussion on the subject, which it will also help excite.' - Kok-Chor Tan, University of Pennsylvania, USA.
