Towards a Theory of Postcolonial Justice

This paper aims at proposing a definition of the concept of 鈥減ostcolonial justice鈥� in view of elaborating an empirically-informed theory of postcolonial justice qua reparative justice. For this purpose, it suggests combining scholarly literature on colonial and slavery reparations (Bessone 2019; Brennan and Packer 2012; De Greiff 2006; Lu 2017; Miller and Kumar 2007) with an analysis of the political claims for decolonizing society that decolonial grassroots activism has recently brought to the fore (such as claims for decolonizing the university, decolonizing the museums, decolonizing public spaces). First, the paper will investigate to what extent the notion of 鈥減ostcolonial justice鈥� 鈥� a concept that seems to have been very poorly explored in postcolonial scholarship 鈥� can provide a fruitful theoretical framework for connecting distinct demands for racial justice, cultural justice, epistemic justice, memorial justice as well as spatial justice. Secondly, it will show that claims for reparations can be considered as a crucial pillar for a theory of postcolonial justice. Lastly, it will argue for conceiving of a theory of postcolonial justice that is both critical and reparative.
