The book investigates the use of bottom-up, community based healing
and peacebuilding approaches, focusing on their strengths and
suggesting how they can be enhanced. The main contribution of the
book is an ethnographic investigation of how post-conflict
communities in parts of Southern Africa use their local resources
to forge a future after mass violence. The way in which Namibia’s
Herero and Zimbabwe’s Ndebele dealt with their respective
genocides is be a major contribution of the book. The focus of the
book is on two Southern African countries that never experienced
institutionalized transitional justice as dispensed in
post-apartheid South Africa via the famed Truth and Reconciliation
Commission. We answer the question: how have communities healed and
reconciled after the end of protracted violence and gross human
rights abuses in Zimbabwe and Namibia? We depart from statetist,
top-down, one-size fits all approaches to transitional justice and
investigate bottom-up approaches.
