Despite a more reflective concern over the past 20 years with
marginalised voices, justice from below, power relations and the
legitimacy of mechanisms and processes, scholarship on transitional
justice has remained relatively silent on the question of
'resistance'. In response, this book asks what can be learnt by
engaging with resistance to transitional justice not just as a
problem of process, but as a necessary element of transitional
justice. Drawing on literatures about resistance from geography and
anthropology, it is the social act of labelling resistance, along
with its subjective nature, that is addressed here as part of the
political, economic, social and cultural contexts in which
transitional justice processes unfold. Working through three cases
- Cote d'Ivoire, Burundi and Cambodia - each chapter of the book
addresses a different form or meaning of resistance, from the
vantage point of multiple actors. As such, each chapter adds a
different element to an overall argument that disrupts the
norm/deviancy dichotomy that has so far characterised the limited
work on resistance and transitional justice. Together, the chapters
of the book develop cross-cutting themes that elaborate an overall
argument for considering resistance to transitional justice as a
subjective element of a political process, rather than as a problem
of implementation.
