Following the ICC intervention in 2005, northern Uganda has been at
the heart of international justice debates. The emergent
controversy, however, missed crucial aspects of Acholi realities:
that the primary moral imperative in the wake of wrongdoing was not
punishment but, instead, the restoration of social harmony. Drawing
upon abundant fieldwork and in-depth interviews with almost 200
women, Holly Porter examines issues surrounding wrongdoing and
justice, and sexual violence and rape, among the Acholi people in
northern Uganda. This intricate exploration offers evidence of a
more complicated and nuanced explanation of rape and its aftermath,
suggesting a re-imagining of the meanings of post-atrocity justice,
whilst acknowledging the role of sex, power and politics in all
sexual experiences between coercion and consent. With its wide
investigation of social life in northern Uganda, this provocative
study offers vital analysis for those interested in sexual and
gender violence, post-conflict reconstruction and human rights.
