Abstract
This article discusses perceptions of wrongdoing and justice in Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands. It argues that constructions of wrongdoing are culturally relative. It further argues that ideas and feelings about just and unjust action within the Enewetak community are also relative and depend upon varied logical scenarios that community members use to construct and project their social identities. Differently positioned social actors rationalize their ideas about wrongdoing and injustice in a variety of ways as they develop and maintain empowered sense of identity within the community.
