Guyana has hit international news, specifically the US-based Huffington Post’s Black Voices arm. The Caribbean’s move for Reparation has also seen American institutions expressing interest in joining with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to seek redress from European countries for the activities of native genocide and slavery.To get a take on Guyana’s moves toward Reparations, Alyson Renaldo interviewed Chairman of the local Reparations Committee, Eric Phillips, earlier this month at the Princess Hotel. Renaldo holds a Master’s Degree in history and anthropology from Columbia University. She began ‘The Cheryl’s Daughter Foundation’ in 2007 to initiate and sustain grassroots outreach campaigns and serves as President and Executive Director of that organization and production company, Tache De Naissance Productions (TDN) films.Below is the ‘Repair-ations Guyana: A case study’ interview between the international writer and Phillips:Eric Phillips and Alyson Renaldo during their interviewWhat is the structure of the Guyanese Reparations claim?Eric:1. Loss of life.2. The wealth extracted made England and Holland wealthier.3. The genocide of, and lands taken from the Indigenous peoples.4. Britain’s destruction of the village movement (the communities built by freed people). The destruction included, flooding the land,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, denial of credit, recently freed people being forced to sell to the Portuguese for cheap rates, who would then re-sell to the planter class who refused to purchase produce goods from their former ‘property’.Renaldo:?Kindly offer an overview of the path to attaining reparations.Eric:?The path is to provide well-documented, historical evidence; to issue a formal letter of complaint. Then, seek diplomatic discussions towards redress. Failing that, the next step would be the International Court of Justice (in the Hague).Renaldo:?What would be considered a successful reparations yield for Guyana?Eric:?Land,Supply Authentic NFL Jerseys, capital, technology funds set aside for restoring culture, re-education and repatriation for those who wish it.Renaldo:?Who will steward those funds, should they be obtained?Eric:?That is to be determined…that is all part of the process. There will certainly not be individual cheques.Renaldo:?Specifically for Guyana, what role would an apology from former colonizers play in the nation’s healing?Eric:?Truthfully, an apology will be difficult to obtain, as it will make the European nations more legally liable. It is good but not sufficient. It says, “We’re culpable” but does not give redress. Initially,Wholesale Jerseys China, we saw it as a necessity, but we realised we were setting ourselves up for failure. We don’t want to be caught in that trap. An apology is not a prerequisite for me, although it may be for others. An apology without reparations is irrelevant. It’s like going to court and the defendant says I’m sorry but then there is nothing else.Renaldo:?Eric, what do you wish people to know about your nation and region?Eric:?Guyana is a nation endowed with a great abundance of natural resources. It is underdeveloped because of the legacies of slavery including a pernicious “winner-take-all” political system it inherited from the British. These resources can only be converted into a vibrant economy with an injection of capital, technology and a more suitable governance arrangement. It is still heavily impacted by the divide-and-rule paradigms of slavery and indentureship. With respect to the Caribbean, it is a transported civilisation made up of many different ethnic and religious peoples who were brought here to serve and enrich European interests. It is now incumbent upon those who transported them to provide reparations; otherwise the effects of the greatest crime against humanity will not be overcome. In a world aware of the need for justice, crimes against humanity should be addressed, no matter where and when they occur. Particularly in the West, whose legal systems are supposedly based upon the pursuit of justice, particularly when these legal systems are based on Christianity, which is essence, is about justice, is it not?Renaldo:?Eric,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, I must tell you that an impassioned American friend of mine remarked that harvesting (albeit owed) monies is, to his mind, a limited victory if Europeans still own much of the land and businesses in the Caribbean and Africa.Eric:?An important remark and it brings us back to reparations, which must also include a healing or repairing of one’s self…and once we stop hating ourselves, then we will invest in ourselves. We are a large consumer base. Once we go through the process of healing, we will do,Jerseys
