The 'Route naar Herstel' is an advisory report presented by The Black Archives and IZI Solutions on behalf of the Zwart Manifest to the Municipality of Amsterdam. It offers over 70 concrete recommendations for short- and long-term reparations addressing the consequences of the Dutch trans-Atlantic slavery past.
The 'Rapport: Route naar Herstel' (Report: Route to Recovery) is a significant advisory document presented to the Municipality of Amsterdam on April 4th. Developed by The Black Archives and IZI Solutions on behalf of the Zwart Manifest, it provides over 70 actionable recommendations for both short-term and long-term reparations. The report aims to address and alleviate the consequences stemming from the Dutch trans-Atlantic slavery past, acknowledging its ongoing impact on Afro-Dutch communities. The report emphasizes that the apologies made by Amsterdam in 2021 were only the first step, and concrete actions for repair are now essential. It advocates for a holistic approach to reparations, focusing on improving the position of descendants across social, economic, psychological, and spiritual dimensions. A key recommendation is to empower descendants by giving them control over the recovery process through investment in their own infrastructure, institutions, facilities, funds, and businesses. The collective commitment from consulted Black organizations to be involved in the report's implementation signifies the community's readiness to actively participate in this process of change and recovery.
The report is available for download as a PDF and can also be purchased as a printed copy through the webshop or at their physical location. Further details on ordering can be found on their webshop or by visiting the institution during opening hours.
