Abstract

Contemporary US discourse on reparations tends to focus on the suppression of Black economic interests, but the harms of slavery are not exhausted by the labor expropriation of slaves and its concomitant wealth accumulation for white people and the United States at large. Reproductive oppression was constitutive of the institution of slavery, and its harms continue to reverberate today. This article thus calls for reproductive reparations, or the transparent and sustained attention to the effects of racialized reproductive oppression as they intersect with calls for reparations for slavery. Reconceiving reparations through histories and presents of reproductive harm is required to more fully account for the wrongs of slavery and provide a broader reach for radical societal transformation in our present.

对生殖奴役及其后果的赔偿

当代美国关于赔偿的讨论往往集中在对黑人经济利益的压制上，但奴隶制的危害并没有因为对奴隶的劳动征用以及随之而来的白人和整个美国的财富积累而消失殆尽。生殖压迫是奴隶制的组成部分，其危害至今仍在回荡。因此，本文呼吁进行生殖赔偿，或以透明和持续的方式关注种族化生殖压迫的影响，因为这些影响与要求对奴隶制进行赔偿的呼声交织在一起。需要通过生殖伤害的历史和现状来重新认识赔偿，以便更充分地说明奴隶制的错误，并为我们当前的激进社会变革提供更广泛的影响。

期刊介绍： The critical philosophy of race consists in the philosophical examination of issues raised by the concept of race, the practices and mechanisms of racialization, and the persistence of various forms of racism across the world. Critical philosophy of race is a critical enterprise in three respects: it opposes racism in all its forms; it rejects the pseudosciences of old-fashioned biological racialism; and it denies that anti-racism and anti-racialism summarily eliminate race as a meaningful category of analysis. Critical philosophy of race is a philosophical enterprise because of its engagement with traditional philosophical questions and in its readiness to engage critically some of the traditional answers.
