| Publisher Description: Do people ever feel guilty about the harmful actions their group has committed against another group, even if they personally were not responsible for, or played no role in, the harm done? The research in this volume reveals these experiences of collective guilt as well as provides answers to when and why. Moreover, the consequences of collective guilt for reconciliation between groups in conflict are examined in diverse nations. How collective guilt may be garnered for peaceful purposes and the resolution of social conflict is critically considered in this timely book. |
