An African-American single mother is harassed and threatened with
violence until she moves out of an all 'white' neighborhood. A hate
crime has occurred and we wonder, who is responsible? Is it just
the few people who actively threatened the woman and her children,
or does responsibility extend further? This book explores these
questions in detail and ultimately finds that responsibility may
extend far beyond active perpetrators.
Within philosophy, these kinds of questions are typically discussed
in the debate over 'collective' or 'group' responsibility. This
book reviews the debate and examines the standard objections to
group responsibility. It also evaluates some currently available
accounts but finds them unsatisfying in various ways. Ultimately,
drawing on work in social psychology, narrative ethics, and
feminist philosophy, the author presents a new account which
answers the standard objections while also giving practical
guidance to individuals who take their group-related
responsibilities seriously.
