%X this article discusses - from a historiografic perspective - one of the most controversal themes of the recent united nations conference on racism: the question of reparations for the victims of the transatlantic slave trade. it is argued that the historiografic debate does not allow for a simple projetion of responsibility in this immense human tragedy. as far as reparations are presented as a project to transfer resources to the african continent it is considered as being very problematic and less justifiable, whereas as a measure to combat racism in multi-ethnic societies it could be more appropriate.
