About Smalltalk
In this series of articles, which will be released weekly, Prof. Small examines the case for reparations not only for slavery but for the global damage of imperialism, with a particular focus on Liverpool and West Africa. The first edition of Small Talk, which focused on the Uprising of 1981, was both provocative and hugely popular. We have no doubt that this series of articles, written in Stephen’s imitable and wholly accessible style, will promote important discussion and new thinking around this crucial topic.
