A new social contract has been negotiated in America. The reparations movement has led to separate and unequal city-states across the country. The city-state of
South Chicago, ten square miles of real estate, is inhabited by two million 'citizens' and is protected by a wall which is patrolled by Motherland Security and buffered by a one hundred yard kill zone. "It's not a history I created, it's out of textbooks. Cuba, Indians being forced onto reservations, the splitting of Germany, it's all there," Shepsu Aakhu.
