But the author also explains how I weak government capacity i had deleterious effects on the preparation for the CRR's implementation stage, especially in terms of strengthening and creating new institutions. New laws (such as the 2011 I Law for Victims and Land Restitution i ) and institutions were created that would hold the state accountable for redistributing land and providing other kinds of support to victims as part of a larger state-building exercise. While the observations on the CRR's political feasibility creating a credible commitment was important within the frame of the negotiation phase, the author could have retrospectively commented on the CRR's current low and uneven implementation vis-à-vis the other chapters in the Peace Agreement. This chapter is particularly strong in its disaggregation of government actors and processes, and it effectively counters the oversimplified narrative of conflict-ridden states being unable to build peace due to lack of state control.

Yet, there is still much debate on the role of greater trade openness in economic growth and the channels through which trade affects poverty and economic inequality. [Extracted from the article]

While Lewis makes a convincing case for reading the scam as a form of reparations, I question its framing as a form of Black repair. I Scammer's Yard i draws us into the world of Omar, Junior, and Dwayne, three young, poor Black men of Montego Bay who decide to engage in the Jamaican lottery scam. Lewis at times conflates reparations and repair; thus, I find it useful here to note how Deborah A. Thomas (2019) distinguishes the two, also from the theoretical standpoint of Jamaica.
