In post-war Sierra Leone, a range of transitional justice
mechanisms were implemented to address experiences of conflict,
violence, and human rights violations. Much of the research on
local transitional justice processes has focused on the work of
organisations, failing to acknowledge how individual and communal
dynamics shape and are shaped by these programs. Drawing on
original fieldwork in Sierra Leone, Laura S. Martin moves beyond
discussions measuring effectiveness and considers how people
navigate their circumstances in conflict and post-conflict
societies. Developing the idea of recognised and unrecognised
transitional justice processes, Martin uses Fambul Tok as an
example of a recognised local transitional justice program and
shows how ordinary Sierra Leoneans appropriated Fambul Tok's agenda
for their own purposes. Ultimately, this book highlights the
crucial role of agency and the diverse range of actors involved in
transitional justice processes. Justice, as Martin powerfully
argues, is not something that happens to or for people, but is
enacted by individuals and communities.
