"Race for Power: The Global Balance of Power & Reparations"
by Gerald Horne.

Abstract.
According to the latest polls, perhaps 75% of the U.S. population are not supportive of reparations. This paper will suggest that the prospects for attaining this goal in the face of such opposition will turn on the sentiments in a much larger community--the international community. By reference to history, this paper will argue that from the abolition of slavery to the erosion of Jim Crow in the 1950s, these progressive developments were driven substantially by pressure from the international community. By reference to the current international situation, this paper will suggest that substantial progress toward reparations can be made if there is an emphasis on mobilization--including lawsuits--in e.g. the European Union, China, Japan, Africa, etc.
