Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò

Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò (; born 1990) He is the author of two books: Reconsidering Reparations and Elite Capture. In the essay, he argued that amplifying certain voices on the basis of group membership in a marginalized community does not necessarily solve fundamental problems and could impede formation of authentic relationships.

Critical reception In a review for Race & Class, Franklin Obeng-Odoom called Reconsidering Reparations "brilliant" and "powerful" despite "some serious faux pas."

Writing in the journal Mind, Megan Blomfeld positions Táíwò as an "accessible writer and skilled storyteller" for a general audience, but notes that Táíwò does not include enough of a review of the philosophical literature on reparations to dissuade proponents of other views.
