Since its inception in 2001, the International Criminal Court (ICC)
has been met with resistance by various African states and their
leaders, who see the court as a new iteration of colonial violence
and control. In Affective Justice Kamari Maxine Clarke explores the
African Union's pushback against the ICC in order to theorize
affect's role in shaping forms of justice in the contemporary
period. Drawing on fieldwork in The Hague, the African Union in
Addis Ababa, sites of postelection violence in Kenya, and Boko
Haram's circuits in Northern Nigeria, Clarke formulates the concept
of affective justice-an emotional response to competing
interpretations of justice-to trace how affect becomes manifest in
judicial practices. By detailing the effects of the ICC's
all-African indictments, she outlines how affective responses to
these call into question the "objectivity" of the ICC's mission to
protect those victimized by violence and prosecute perpetrators of
those crimes. In analyzing the effects of such cases, Clarke
provides a fuller theorization of how people articulate what
justice is and the mechanisms through which they do so.
