Abstract
In this book I argue for global rectificatory justice. Colonialism has in different ways shaped the present global order and the legacy of colonialism requires both rectification for past injustices and forward-looking remedies. How should the relations between former colonies and former colonial powers be shaped in the future? Do demands for rectification for past wrongs merely open wounds that have already healed? Perhaps forgiveness and reconciliation are better alternatives than rectification?
