"Not only provides a neat blend of scholarship, but it also focuses
on a topic that is (or should be) of vital importance to human
rights."
--"Human Rights Quarterly"
"How much compensation ought to be paid to a woman who was raped
7,500 times? What would the members of the Commission want for
their daughters if their daughters had been raped even once?"
"--Karen Parker, Speaking before the U.N. Commission on Human
Rights"
Seemingly every week, a new question arises relative to the
current worldwide ferment over human injustices. Why does the U.S.
offer $20,000 atonement money to Japanese Americans relocated to
concentration camps during World War II, while not even apologizing
to African Americans for 250 years of human bondage and another
century of institutionalized discrimination? How can the U.S. and
Canada best grapple with the genocidal campaigns against Native
Americans on which their countries were founded? How should Japan
make amends to Korean "comfort women" sexually enslaved during
World War II? Why does South Africa deem it necessary to grant
amnesty to whites who tortured and murdered blacks under apartheid?
Is Germany's highly praised redress program, which has paid
billions of dollars to Jews worldwide, a success, and, as such, an
example for others?
More generally, is compensation for a historical wrong dangerous
"blood money" that allows a nation to wash its hands forever of its
responsibility to those it has injured?
A rich collection of essays from leading scholars, pundits,
activists, and political leaders the world over, many written
expressly for this volume, When Sorry Isn't Enough also includes
the voices of the victims of some of theworld's worst atrocities,
thereby providing a panoramic perspective on an international
controversy often marked more by heat than reason.
