Mieroop-Al Bahrani explores how capitalism, racism, debt and inheritance operate through a politics of time, where history isn't behind us but actively shapes the now.
The demand for reparations has reignited fierce debate by exposing how today's inequalities rest on historical exploitation. This book argues that reparations aren't just about the past, they're about transforming the present by confronting the structures we've inherited.
What would it mean to undo capitalism's logic of time and imagine a radically different future? A politics of reparation would reconfigure time itself, opening new narratives and collective possibilities.
Kenan Van De Mieroop-Al Bahrani is an author based in Brussels. He is Assistant Professor of History at Leiden University in the Netherlands and co-founder of the International Network for Theory of History.
