Latin America is still dealing with the legacy of terror and
torture from its authoritarian past. In the years after the
restoration of democratic governments in countries where violations
of human rights were most rampant, the efforts to hold former
government officials accountable were mainly conducted at the level
of the state, through publicly appointed truth commissions and
other such devices. This stage of "transitional justice" has been
carefully and exhaustively studied. But as this first wave of
efforts died down, with many still left unsatisfied that justice
had been rendered, a new approach began to take over. In
Post-transitional Justice, Cath Collins examines the distinctive
nature of this approach, which combines evolving legal strategies
by private actors with changes in domestic judicial systems.
Collins presents both a theoretical framework and a finely detailed
investigation of how this has played out in two countries, Chile
and El Salvador. Drawing on more than three hundred interviews,
Collins analyzes the reasons why the process achieved relative
success in Chile but did not in El Salvador.
