Here is the link to an article I've published on US reparations to Africa for the slave trade. Open access until May 24, 2022, I think. Also below the link is the abstract.
2022.
“Should the USA Offer Reparations to Africa for the Transatlantic Slave Trade?”, Society, Vol. 59, 2022. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12115-022-00682-3#Sec4
Abstract
This article begins with background information on
the international social movement for reparations for the transatlantic slave
trade. I then propose that the USA ought to offer reparations, including participation
in and financing of a truth commission on the slave trade; apology for the
harms caused by the trade; and symbolic financial assistance to establish
monuments to the slave trade, museums exhibits, and educational programs. The
article concludes with a discussion of whether the USA would have the political
will to offer reparations to Africa
