Powerful actors and institutions are apologizing to the relatively powerless. What do these apologies mean? This book explores the legal, political, social, historical, moral, religious, and anthropological aspects of Western apologies in an attempt to help answer these questions.



Conversely, a nonapology might be as important to study, and several chapters discuss the absence or refusal of apology, and how this might be interpreted.
