In Buried in the Heart, Erin Baines explores the political agency
of women abducted as children by the Lord's Resistance Army in
northern Uganda, forced to marry its commanders, and to bear their
children. Introducing the concept of complex victimhood, she argues
that abducted women were not passive victims, but navigated complex
social and political worlds that were life inside the violent armed
group. Exploring the life stories of thirty women, Baines considers
the possibilities of storytelling to reclaim one's sense of self
and relations to others, and to generate political judgement after
mass violence. Buried in the Heart moves beyond victim and
perpetrator frameworks prevalent in the field of transitional
justice, shifting the attention to stories of living through mass
violence and the possibilities of remaking communities after it.
The book contributes to an overlooked aspect of international
justice: women's political agency during wartime.
