Summary: "In the face of such â€˜unspeakable truths,' wouldn't it be better to simply, quietly bow down?" (Kora Andrieu: Sorry for the Genocide , 2009). This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to the question of colonial crimes. In order to reconcile with massive systemic injustice, not only the historical foundations and legal questions are relevant, but also political viewpoints and peace ethics. The book demonstrates that, in the face of extreme violence, even genocide, a political apology can be an effective tool for conflict transformation, even when the injustice is far in the past.
