- Title
FROM SLAVERY TO CONTEMPORARY GENOCIDE: A LITERARY AND LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF WHY AMERICAN BLACKS DESERVE REPARATIONS.
- Authors
Jennings, Regina
- Abstract
Literary and linguistic investigations reveal that people of African descent continue to suffer a plethora of psychological damage from historic and contemporary White racism and terrorism. Consistent police killings of young Black males and females and the horrific spike in Black-on-Black homicides together show a community in terrible distress. The culprit of multiple centuries of enslavement is the primary reason that Blacks deserve reparations. Yet, a study of literature proves the mental debilitation that continues within the collective Black community, making it plain that reparations are long overdue.
