Since their incipient appearance in the 1990s , the demands and organised movements of migrant communities and racialised people , as well as the transformations that they have experienced up to the present day , form part of the set of reactions and alliances between groups that have sought to respond to racism as a social phenomenon in the country over the past three decades ( Andreeva , 2021 ). In addition , these communities interact with other Atlantic narratives ( Europe-Africa- America ), through which shared epistemological frameworks of rupture flow as well as demands for reparation coming from former colonial contexts . The latter have been partially included in this work , when they concern political demands or requests , but their broader dimension ( demonstrations , etc .), merits parallel research work parallel , which also includes broader scenarios such as CARICOM [ 8 ].
Alongside these collectives driving colonial criticism , we must also include broader political and social sectors of Spanish society that share these narratives , and which we also situate in the mapping . In contrast to these actors , we observe a resurgence of imperial nostalgia , which appears as a reactive response to the emerging new paradigm . This imperial nostalgia represents a form of resistance to the crisis that the new narratives pose in the collective configuration of identity , where the glorification of the colonial past has historically been widely accepted . Throughout the process , we also mapped and documented memorial expressions associated with this imperial nostalgia . However , we decided not to include them in this report for two main reasons . Firstly , because there is a risk of simplifying and reducing the complexity of these matters to a dichotomy of two opposing narratives . Secondly , we do not seek to highlight these expressions , as our main aim in this work is to promote the need for a critical review of these pasts . This approach is oriented towards historical justice and social cohesion , promoting more inclusive and complex perspectives of history which , on many occasions , have marginalised colonised communities , women and other actors of society in historical narratives .
Carefully considering these points , such as the appearance of a new paradigm of Transitional Justice in relation to reparations , the growing presence of anti-colonial actions in the public agenda and the particularities of the European and Spanish context , in this report we have developed a proposal that consists of six different categories . These categories address both synchronic reparations , focused on specific historical grievances from the colonial past , and diachronic reparations , which focus on issues of racial reparation and persistent harm .

In 2010 it launched a proposal for racial and colonialism reparations for the whole region , which directly affects Spain .
