Social psychologist Elaine Fernandez explores the complex and often overlooked impact of guilt across Asia. Drawing on her experience of working in Malaysia and the UK, she investigates how community, history and faith come together to shape the emotional life of the region in unique ways. From Japan’s wartime legacy and collective guilt to the trauma of anti-drug violence in the Philippines, the online scams that manipulate victims’ emotions in China and rituals of atonement in India, Elaine examines how guilt influences individual lives in a myriad of tangible ways.
