      title = {Mea culpa : lessons on law and regret from U.S. history /},
      abstract = {"In Mea Culpa, Steven W. Bender examines how the United  States' collective shame about its past has shaped the  evolution of law and behavior. We regret slavery and  segregationist Jim Crow laws: we craft our legislation in  response to that regret. By examining policies and  practices that affected the lives of groups that have been  historically marginalized and oppressed, Bender is able to  draw persuasive connections between shame and its eventual  legal manifestations. Analyzing the United States'  historical response to its own atrocities, Bender  identifies and develops a definitive moral compass that  guides us away from the policies and practices that lead to  societal regret"--Dust jacket.},
