This week’s Race + Power newsletter examines efforts for redress of racism’s harms and the complexities of this work. First, NPQ Editor Kitana Ananda reviews debates swirling around California’s recent vote for lineage-based reparations for Black Americans. Next, Elizabeth Silleck La Rue extends recent NPQ discussions on leechers—white “allyship” that uses DEI and racial justice language to extract value from marginalized people and communities of color. From the archive, we present an article by William A. Darity Jr. and A. Kirsten Mullen on the case for Black reparations in the US. Finally, Rona Fernandez and Stan Yogi discuss the important role of grassroots fundraising in the redress movement for Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War II.
