From slavery and the 1831 rebellion to the events at Morant Bay in 1865 and the Windrush scandal multiple wrongs have been done. They have not been put right. The British state, institutions and individual Britons are all implicated. Britain’s entangled past with Jamaica is not done, it lives on in the present. There is a debt to be paid. How might we think about the question of reparation and repair? Who carries responsibility? What might that mean?
