The Rhetoric of Official Apologies: Critical Essays focuses on the
many challenges associated with performing a speech act on behalf
of a collective and the concomitant issues of rhetorically tackling
the multiple political, social, and philosophical issues at stake
when a collective issues an official apology to a group of victims.
Contributors address questions of whether collective remorse is
possible or credible, how official apologies can be evaluated, who
can issue apologies on behalf of whom, and whether there are
certain kinds of wrongdoing that simply can't be addressed in the
form of an official apology. Collectively, the book speaks to the
relevance of conceptualizing official apologies more broadly as
serving multiple rhetorical purposes that span ceremonial and
political genres and represent a potentially powerful form of
collective self-reflection necessary for political and social
advancement.
