The Tyranny of Guilt: An Essay on Western Masochism (French: La tyrannie de la pénitence. Essai sur le masochisme occidental) is a book by Pascal Bruckner about the origin and political impact of the contemporary political culture of Western guilt. It was published in French in 2006 as La Tyrannie de la Pénitence: Essai sur le Masochisme Occidental and in English in 2010.
Roger Kimball regards Tyranny of Guilt as a sequel to Bruckner's 1983 book The Tears of the White Man.[1] Richard Wolin preferred to describe it as a "pendant," a revisiting of the theme of Tears of the White Man.[2]
The 2010 translation into English was done by Steven Rendall.[3]
