Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the sense of injustice of the victim and the victimizer. In it, I shall consider the conditions necessary for awakening the sense of injustice in these different participants in an unjust relationship. My discussion, for illustrative purposes, will focus on race relations in the United States, one of the major sources of injustice in North America.
