Legacies of State Violence and Transitional Justice in Latin
America presents a nuanced and evidence-based discussion of both
the acceptance and co-optation of the transitional justice
framework and its potential abuses in the context of the struggle
to keep the memory of the past alive and hold perpetrators
accountable within Latin America and beyond. The contributors argue
that "transitional justice"-understood as both a conceptual
framework shaping discourses and a set of political practices-is a
Janus-faced paradigm. Historically it has not always advanced but
often hindered attempts to achieve historical memory and seek truth
and justice. This raises the vital question: what other theoretical
frameworks can best capture legacies of human rights crimes?
Providing a historical view of current developments in Latin
America's reckoning processes, Legacies of State Violence and
Transitional Justice in Latin America reflects on the meaning of
the paradigm's reception: what are the broader political and social
consequences of supporting, appropriating, or rejecting the
transitional justice paradigm?
