Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

With this background to five centuries of European enslavement and colonialism, the seventh and final section of the book then examines the global struggle for reparations that emerged directly from these two crimes against humanity. Starting in the Caribbean, the Barbadian historian and chair of the Caribbean Community’s Reparations Commission, Hilary Beckles, describes the activities of the region’s governments and civil society since 2013 to coordinate their efforts with similar groups in the United States, Colombia, Canada, Europe, and Africa in order to achieve reparations for European slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean and the Americas. Beckles outlines the Caricom ten-point reparations plan with its demands for a sincere apology and admission that slavery had been a “crime against humanity”. He notes the progress of reparations in forcing Western governments, universities, companies, churches, monarchies, and British families like the Draxes and the Trevelyans to apologise to Caribbean citizens and make amends for their historical links to slavery in the region. He argues that despite some progress, success remains limited.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
