Title: Rigorously scrutinizes the idea of reparations
Review: Uncivil Wars: The Controversy Over Reparations For Slavery by biographer and social historian David Horowitz is a powerful and persuasively written examination of the hot-button political issue of federal monetary reparations to the descendants of African-American slaves. Horowitz notes that the vast majority of non-black Americans today are not descended from slave owners; indeed, many are immigrants, or the children or grandchildren of immigrants, who became Americans long after the end of slavery. Furthermore, contemporary African-Americans as a whole are far wealthier than numerous Africans living in third-world countries today. Uncivil Wars rigorously scrutinizes the idea of reparations with careful reasoning, and is an invaluable contribution to the national dialogue over a pressing (and recurring) social issue arising from the African-American community.
