What is expansion justice?

Expansion justice refers to the principle of addressing and correcting historical injustices that arise from the expansion of territories, nations, or empires, often at the expense of marginalized or indigenous populations. It emphasizes the need for reparative measures, recognition of past wrongs, and the promotion of equitable policies to ensure that affected communities have a voice in decisions that impact their land, culture, and rights. This concept is increasingly relevant in discussions around decolonization, land rights, and social equity.
