Ecclesiastical sources are the longest serial data available for the history of Africans in the Americas, beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing through almost the end of the nineteenth century, and many are in perilous condition. Most have never been seen by scholars and if not captured quickly, will never be seen." (Project Description) — The Brazilian source collection is not accessible as yet, but will comprise several ten thousand pages of archival documents dating from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries.

- [Author's abstract:] "These remarks, prepared for the Boston College Third World Law Journal Reparations Symposium, compare the goals and viability of reparations claims as tort suits. I contrast two approaches observed in the claims: a 'doing justice' model, which involves seeking compen-sation in important cases of uncorrected or uncompensated injustice, and a 'social welfare' model that seeks to change the distribution of wealth. Claims under the first category are far more consistent with tort doctrine and likely to meet their goals than social welfare-based claims." – The author is a professor of law at Boston University.

- Description
- [Abstract in the journal:] "In a joint project of post-graduate study, several universities of northern South America are investigating the 'bridge' from Africa to the Americas. This project will aid the peoples of Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and Peru to locate their African heritage as well as overcoming the past ethnic invisibility of the African-descended population. This population, ranging from six percent to twenty percent of regional totals, includes the descendants of Africans distributed as slaves from the great slave port of Cartagena. In Colombia a 1993 law, based on the 1991 constitution, gave recognition to the ethnic status of Afro-Colombians, and identified their territorial and cultural rights. This law and its implementation have encouraged the development of the 'bridge' project. The project is a multidiciplinary approach to recovering the past. It centers on the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Cientificas, the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, and the Universidad de los Andes. The program includes cooperation with universities in Africa."

- Description
- [Author's abstract:] "Much of the current debate over African-American reparations is characterized by a posture of confrontation and demand, and is exemplified in the law by seeking redress using the doctrines of tort and unjust enrichment. This confrontational posture presents a variety of legal, political, and ethical problems for reparations advocates, and has alienated potential allies from the reparations movement. This Article examines and exposes the confrontation model's shortcomings, proposing as an alternative a 'conversational' model for reparations debate and advocacy. The conversational framework is not only a superior litigation strategy that more closely approximates traditional civil rights litigation, it also embraces the complexity of the current debate on race, premitting the nation to engage in a more inclusive discussion of the future of race in America." – The author is an assistant professor of law at Western New England College.

- [Author's abstract:] "This paper offers a sympathetic interpretation of reparations claims made on behalf of African Americans and suggests how they could properly be honored. It reviews the federal government's role in supporting racial subordination and its continuing failure to address the inequitable consequences, which public policy now largely ignores. It sketches a national rectification project, comprising a comprehensive set of public programs that would attack the persisting legacy of slavery and Jim Crow. The programs can be justified by the government's duty to insure equal opportunity for our society's children and, most urgently, by corrective justice, because the inequities are attributable to the government's own policies."

- Description
- [Author's abstract:] "This Article examines the current landscape of reparations for slavery, identifying the contours of reparations lawsuits and exploring the ability of tort law to help apportion moral culpability in the reparations context. It first examines several possibilities for lawsuits for Jim Crow, discussing constitutional requirements and identifying specific incidentssuch as lynchings and Jim Crow legislationthat might be appropriate subjects of litigation. The Article then assesses the viability of obtaining reparations through tort and unjust enrichment claims by addressing issues such as causation and damages, exploring the obstacles presented by American laws liberalism, and identifying the various goals of reparations advocates. Finally, the Article moves beyond litigation to contemplate the ability of tort law to serve as a vehicle for framing discussions about moral culpability. It concludes with an optimistic assessment of the role of tort law in the reparations movement." – The author is a professor of law at the University of Alabama.

- Site created in the framework of an educational initiative of New York Life Insurance Co., which is also sponsoring a 4-part TV series on the history of American slavery. Provides resources for teaching slavery to middle and high-school students. – No information about the creators and maintainers of the site is available. While the authors of essays and lesson plans are identified by name and in part by institutional affiliation, the criteria for the selection of the material remain unclear. Contributors are paid. – The site includes an Encyclopedia of American Slavery with some 500 brief entries, but the editors, editorial plan and policy, and the contributors are not indicated. – Citations of the sources for some of the primary material are missing. — New York Life is one of several companies that have (thus far unsuccessfully) been sued for compensation by descendants of antebellum slaves. For more information, consult the Slave Era Insurance Registry (California Department of Insurance), the Business & Human Rights Resource Center, and news coverage. The site claims to be endorsed by the National Alliance of Black School Educators.

- Description
- [Author's abstract:] "This Article examines several legal and political issues raised by reparations for slavery and offers a skeptical appraisal of both the wisdom of reparations and their potential for success. There are a number of legal obstacles to courtroom-based reparations, including the difficulty of proving duty, causation, and damages; technical barriers such as limitations statutes and laches; and constitutional problems such as standing and courts' strict scrutiny of racial classifications. In the political realm, the difficulty of identifying those who should pay and those who should receive reparations, and the impact of a successful reparations scheme on race relations in America, should counsel against the wisdom of reparations for slavery." – The author is a professor at the University of California, Hastings College of Law.

- Description
- [Author's abstract:] "This Article, the author of which presented the opening and closing remarks and served as moderator for the Boston College Third World Law Journal's reparations symposium, explores reparations for slavery from a spiritual perspective. It briefly traces the history of reparations for African Americans, beginning with General William Tecumseh Sherman's 'Forty Acres and a Mule' field order in 1865 and moving through Reconstruction and Jim Crow. The Article next examines the connection between the crimes and injustices of slavery and the current plight of African Americans, arguing that monetary reparations are a viable solution and should be targeted toward Blacks who have failed to succeed economically. The author maintains, however, that the primary purpose of monetary reparations is spiritual rather than practical; America must make a tangible sacrifice in order to heal successfully the nation's deep wounds of shame, anger, and hurt from the legacy of slavery. The Article concludes with a call for the current generation to address America's unsettled and unreconciled history through reparations." – The author is a professor of law at Northeastern University.

"The MSc is a comparative history programme, offering the study of slavery and forced labour right across a vast range of historical periods and geographies, from classical antiquity to the 20th century, ancient Italy and Greece, Africa, and the Americas - as well as the study of the development of slavery as an idea in modern European thought, and its use as an image in 20th century Hollywood cinema.

- Description
- [Abstract in the journal:] "This study reconsiders several controversies resulting from the historical debate over 'legitimate' trade–nineteenth-century exports of African commodities other than slaves–in West Africa. The controversies reviewed include the incidence of enslavement in West African warfare; whether slave prices fell as slave exports declined; whether slave trade and 'legitimate' trade were compatible or incompatible; the debate over A. G. Hopkins' thesis of a 'crisis of adaptation' among political leaders; the commercial transition and gender relations; and the relation between the commercial transition and European imperial conquest. Disaggregation, noting the variations in the transition among regions and over time, Law believes, will resolve some of these controversies. Promotion of 'legitimate' trade, linked to the suppression of the slave trade, became a way in which Europeans both opposed slavery and intervened more and more forcefully in Africa throughout the ninteenth century."

- Description
- [Author's abstract:] " This Article explores the theme of 'troubling settled waters,' which represents the impact of African-American reparations on the current landscape of race relations in America. The Article outlines the current and historical debate over reparations, addressing the arguments of opponents who contend that reparations dialogue and action wastes intellectual and monetary resources, unnecessarily resurrects painful memories, and creates racial division. It also takes note of contemporary reparations efforts in the courts, as well as the theories and bases for this litigation. The Article concludes that, given the continuing pervasiveness of race and race issues in modern America, reparations are a welcome and important opportunity for achieving civil rights goals." – The author is Associate Dean and Associate Director of the Litigation and Dispute Resolution Program at The George Washington University Law School.

- English
- Description
- [Author's abstract:] "his Article explores the ability of reparations litigation to transform the American debate about race by promoting 'interest convergence' between reparations advocates and the majority population. As Professor Derrick Bell has argued, only when the interests of the majority converge with those of the minority will the minority achieve its goals. Reparations lawsuits - especially those framed as traditional civil rights claims, as in the ongoing litigation seeking reparations for the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot - can begin to promote the convergence of interests between reparationists and the reluctant majority population by forcing the majority population to confront past and present injustices against African Americans. The Article concludes that litigative reparations are a promising first step toward insuring justice for those who were sacrificed during slavery and Jim Crow oppression." – The author is a professor at Harvard Law School.
