A clinical and legal case for reparative justice

Abdullah Hakim Kenneth Basnight connects the history of the transatlantic slave trade to present-day questions of psychological harm, accountability, and self-determination. The book introduces two proposed frameworks—Post-Traumatic Colonization Syndrome (PTCS) and Post-Traumatic Slave Master Syndrome (PTSMS)—to examine effects on both the oppressed and the oppressor. Its scope spans theology, history, psychiatry, and international law, bringing clinical concepts into a political and legal argument for reparations. The description frames the work as both a diagnostic assessment and a legal brief, placing its claims at the intersection of historical interpretation and public policy.

Book overview

A bold framework for truth, trauma, and reparative justice.

Enemies of the Original Man presents a bold clinical and legal argument for reparative justice. Kenneth Basnight introduces two interlocking frameworks-Post-Traumatic Colonization Syndrome (PTCS) and Post-Traumatic Slave Master Syndrome (PTSMS)-to diagnose the enduring psychological effects of colonization on both the oppressed and the oppressor. Moving from theology and history to psychiatry and international law, the book reframes the transatlantic slave trade as an ongoing system of warfare and argues for reparations, accountability, and self-determination. This is not a plea for recognition. It is a diagnostic assessment and a legal brief.
