The Meaning of Rectificatory Justice after Colonialism

In this chapter I discuss the meaning of rectificatory justice and how it applies to rectification for colonial harms. I will first clarify the conceptual question, that is, the question of which term is the most appropriate to use. Then I will sketch a theory of rectificatory justice. When the theory of rectification is applied to the history of colonialism a number of questions need to be answered. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
