This book analyzes collective apologies as tools for addressing historical injustices and their capacity to foster reconciliation. Based on literature review and extensive community-engaged research with Kurdish and Armenian communities in Turkey, it examines two controversial cases, the 2008 'I Apologize' signature campaign and the 2011 governmental apology for the Dersim massacre, exploring how the framing, delivery, and reception of apologies shape public debates about responsibility, truth-telling, and repair in societies grappling with legacies of state violence and collective trauma.
