How have different societies redressed (or failed to redress) past violence? Scholars assess legal, philosophical, and economic issues surrounding reparations to descendents of African-American slaves in the context of Ancient Roman encounters with Egypt and India, white interactions with Native Americans, Japanese reparations to Koreans, and South African attempts at "truth and reconciliation." Discussion to follow.
