This book offers narrative analysis theory as a vehicle to
understand indigenous mediation. The conceptual basis for this
manuscript is the undisputed urgent need to understand mediation
from a conflict transformation perspective highlighting the nexus
between indigenous justice, forgiveness and trauma healing.
Embracing indigenous approaches, while rejecting/problematizing
impractical and impossible western approaches in favor of local and
when applicable cross-cultural approaches could provide enduring
mediation outcomes. This book is based on the assumptions that
local communities have the tools/capabilities that they need to
build stable and enduring peaceful co-existence. These capacities
have been weakened by the political elite and bankrupt/corrupt
leadership approaches that must be rejected through empowerment and
rigorous mediation brigades at the local level. The last chapter in
the manuscript proposes a research center for indigenous justice,
forgiveness and trauma healing in East Africa that will guarantee
decades of scholarship and research around this subject in East
Africa and beyond.
