This chapter focuses on two instances of Latin American inequality in which there has been a call for reparations: the Quilombo communities in Brazil that are petitioning their government for rights to their ancestral lands, and the Haitian government’s call for the French to reimburse them for their earlier debt payments. In both cases, their original context was the Atlantic triangular trade that enslaved millions of Africans. Brown shows how the Latin American Doctrine of the Social Function of Land, the idea of collective rights, and treating land as a commons can provide a framework for repairing the violations of our common humanity and for creating more just social relations
