The concepts of reconciliation and transitional justice are
inextricably linked in a new body of normative meta-theory
underpinned by claims related to their effects in managing the
transformation of deeply divided societies to a more stable and
more democratic basis. This edited volume is dedicated to a
critical re-examination of the key premises on which the debates in
this field pivot. The contributions problematise core concepts,
such as victimhood, accountability, justice and reconciliation
itself; and provide a comparative perspective on the ethnic,
ideological, racial and structural divisions to understand their
rootedness in local contexts and to evaluate how they shape and
constrain moving beyond conflict. With its systematic empirical
analysis of a geographic and historic range of conflicts involving
ethnic and racial groups, the volume furthers our grasp of
contradictions often involved in transitional justice scholarship
and practice and how they may undermine the very goals of peace,
stability and reconciliation that they seek to promote. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
