Reading Analysis #2

Evaluate the
reparations proposal presented by CARICOM at the end of its March 2014 meeting.
The relevant section of the document is titled “Reparations for Native Genocide
and Slavery.” Some of the issues raised in this proposal are themes we have
discussed this semester – slavery, genocide and European colonialism in the
Americas. Please also review the Hallmarks of the SND de Namur.
Is CARICOM’s proposal
fair? Should all or some of its requests be granted? Why or why not? Be sure to
ground your argument solidly in the historical record as it is presented in
your textbook. In what ways would granting CARICOM’s requests be consistent
with the values of the SND de Namur as stated in the Hallmarks?

Your paper must be
three pages in length plus Bibliography. Please use standard font size and
margins. In-text citations are required.
