This edited volume examines the role of local civil society in
shaping understandings and processes of transitional justice in
Africa - a nursery of transitional justice ideas for well over two
decades. It brings together practitioners and scholars with
intimate knowledge of these processes to evaluate the agendas and
strategies of local civil society, and offers an opportunity to
reflect on 'lessons learnt' along the way. The contributors focus
on the evolution and effectiveness of transitional justice
interventions, providing a glimpse into the motivations and inner
workings of major civil society actors. The book presents an
African perspective on transitional justice through a compilation
of country-specific and thematic analyses of agenda setting and
lobbying efforts. It offers insights into state-civil society
relations on the continent, which shape these agendas. The chapters
present case studies from Southern, Central, East, West and North
Africa, and a range of moments and types of transition. In addition
to historical perspective, the chapters provide fresh and up-to-
date analyses of ongoing transitional justice efforts that are key
to defining the future of how the field is understood globally, in
theory and in practice Endorsements: "This great volume of written
work - Advocating Transitional Justice in Africa: The Role of Civil
Society - does what virtually no other labor of the intellect has
done heretofore. Authored by movement activists and thinkers in the
fields of human rights and transitional justice, the volume
wrestles with the complex place and roles of transitional justice
in the project of societal reconstruction in Africa. ... This
volume will serve as a timely and thought-provoking guide for
activists, thinkers, and policy makers - as well as students of
transitional justice - interested in the tension between the
universal and the particular in the arduous struggle for
liberation. Often, civil society actors in Africa have been accused
of consuming the ideas of others, but not producing enough, if any,
of their own. This volume makes clear the spuriousness of this
claim and firmly plants an African flag in the field of ideas."
