Transitional justice and diaspora studies are interdisciplinary and
expanding fields of study. Finding the right combination of
mechanisms to forward transitional justice in post-conflict
societies is an ongoing challenge for states and affected
populations. Diasporas, as non-state actors with increased agency
in homelands, host-lands, and other global locations, engage with
their past from a distance, but their actions are little
understood. Diaspora Mobilizations for Transitional Justice
develops a novel framework to demonstrate how diasporas connect
with local actors in transitional justice processes through a
variety of mechanisms and their underlying analytical
rationales-emotional, cognitive, symbolic/value-based, strategic,
and networks-based. Mechanisms featured here are: thin sympathetic
response and chosen trauma, fear and hope, contact and framing,
cooperation and coalition-building, brokerage, patronage, and
connective action, among others. The contributors discuss the role
of diasporas in truth commissions, memorialization, recognition of
genocides and other human rights atrocities, as well as their
abilities to affect transitional justice from afar by holding
particular attitudes, or upon return temporarily or for good. This
book sheds light on how diasporas' contextual embeddedness shapes
their mobilization strategies, and features empirical evidence from
Europe, United States and Canada, as well as from conflict and
postconflict polities in the Balkans, Middle East, Eurasia and
Latin America. It was originally published as a special issue of
Ethnic and Racial Studies.
