Sounds familiar? African Studies Quarterly 2.4 (1999) A special issue of African Studies Quarterly featuring four articles looking at various aspects of the reparations debate. The participants review, among other things, the option of establishing a UN Tribunal modeled after the the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals and similar to the recent tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, which would charge slave states with crimes against humanity. Some argue in favor of an "African Marshall Plan," combining debt relief with capital transfers to the nations affected by the slave trade. All four writers agree that discussions of reparations must "move beyond slavery to engage contemporary issues of power and development."
