An epilogue addresses the issue of reparations, with Tulsa placed in a national and international context that includes the Civil Rights Act of 1988, which offered $20,000 compensation to each surviving person of Japanese ancestry who had been interned in the western United States during World War II. Brophy urges four criteria for a successful case for reparations, all of which he asserts are present regarding the 1921 incident—"the government that is paying was culpable; there are living survivors; the harm is concentrated in time and place; and contemporaries understood the moral claim" (107). This slim volume is illuminating, although its execution is far from satisfying (we are told, for example, that "Plessey v. Ferguson" was decided in "1898" [80]). It presents original material; provides a provocative depiction of black and white conceptions of the law in Jim Crow America; and renders a thoughtful consideration of the conditions under which reparations might be both appropriate and achievable. For fuller accounts of the events of 1921 and their long aftermath, one may consult Tim Madigan, The Burning: Massacre, Destruction, and the Tulsa Race Riot of 1921 (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2001), and James S. Hirsch, Riot and Remembrance: The Tulsa Race War and Its Legacy (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 2002).
