Within the decade beginning
this year, the Caribbean may
have solutions to the growing
scourge of Type II diabetes, have
a new economic approach as
former colonial nations, and reestablish
links with sub-Saharan
Africa.
These projected achievements
are thanks to a 20 million
pounds sterling (US$26,000,200)
research fund the University of
Glasgow (UG) supplied in the
first phase of a continued development
programme in repayment
for benefitting from the
proceeds of slavery and in so
doing giving a face to the concept
of reparations.
The work is to be done by
Glasgow-Caribbean Centre for
Development Research that will
have offices in the Caribbean
and Glasgow.
“It is the first institution
within British university history,
dedicated to the slavery reparations
policy framework,” read
a statement issued by the University
of the West Indies and
University of Glasgow, administrators
of the Centre.
The representatives of the two
universities met in late December,
“to rollout the research and
project development agenda for
the Centre which is aimed at
confronting and eradicating the
debilitating legacies of slavery
and colonisation in the Caribbean”.
Led by Vice-Chancellor,
Hilary Beckles, UWI had begun
negotiations with UG for compensation

since 2017 after that
Scottish university published a
document admitting to its culpability
for slavery by benefitting
donations by slave owners.
“Between the 1780s and
1880s it received millions of
pounds in grants and endowments
from Scottish and English
slave owners that served to
enrich and physically expand
the near 600-year-old university,”
stated part of the reparations
agreement reached last
August and signed by Dr. Beckles
and Dr. David Duncan, University
of Glasgow’s chief operating
officer.
That agreement established
the Centre that will target and
promote solutions to Caribbean
development problems in areas
such as medicine and public
health, economics and economic
growth, cultural identity and
cultural industries, and other
21st century orientations in
Caribbean transformation.
Last months’ board of directors
meeting at UWI’s Cave Hill
Campus, Barbados, set out targets
for the 2020 decade.
Headings of the three tasks
set out are:
1. “The public health crisis
in the Caribbean, particularly
the chronic disease pandemic,
with special focus on identifying
research-based solutions to
reduce the burden of Type 2
Diabetes and its sequelae complications,
such as diabetic foot
amputation;
2. “The search for post-plantation
economy development
policies that are innovative and
progressive in the struggle for
economic growth in the global
economy; and
3. “Recognising that slavery
and colonialism drove deep
wedges between Africa and its
Caribbean family, develop
strategies for project implementation
to tackle the day-to-day
cultural divide between Africa
and the Caribbean.”
Last August, UWI had stated
the, “agreement represents
the first occasion on which a

slavery-enriched British or
European institution has apologized
for its part in slavery and
committed funds to facilitate
a reparations programme. In
this instance, the two universities
have adopted a regional
development approach to reparations.”
“The seminal agreement, the
first of its kind in the Western
World … for slavery reparations
since British Emancipation in
1838.”
