Summary
In the Thursday, March 26, 2026 edition of the New York Times, Lydia Polgreen observes that “America does not know how to exist in a world it does not control.” Through vacillations between seizing temporary control of state and federal government, White nationalist politicians in the US continue to fight desperately to impose their narrow ideology on the country’s fragile amalgam of genocidal European settler colonies, built on stolen African labor and sustained by a narrative of self-creation that projects inevitability and dominance. The illusion they seek to impose afresh at its semi-quincentennial is that the US is something founded as anything other than that as part of Europe’s global rise. As the country’s population continues to move toward reflecting the world’s overwhelming non-white majority, this illusion is unraveling as excesses of nativism, Eurocentrism, and racial capitalism produce global fracture, desperate attempts to prop up and seize control of the old system and demands for renegotiation by those who suffer under it. Against this backdrop, the 19th annual United Nations International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade became a site of growing demands for reckoning. Ghanaian President John Mahama introduced a resolution on behalf of Africans globally, declaring the trafficking of Africans the greatest crime against humanity and demanding repair. It was passed overwhelmingly by member states and rejected in both telling dissent and abstention from the old global power states. The vote exposed both hopes and fears in the current world's social structure and raises urgent questions about responsibility, memory, and repair.
