This book is unique in exploring from an African perspective the
dilemmas and complexities involved in addressing past human rights
violations to enable a society move to a more peaceful future.
While challenging current transitional justice narratives, which
have inadequately addressed the concerns of post-conflict societies
in Africa, it also emphasises the need to avoid representing
African issues as 'exotic' and 'exceptional'. The authors consider
the core debates about how to develop a transitional justice agenda
and assess the potential of localised justice models to contribute
to justice systems. They show the importance of pursuing locally
forged processes that take account of the dynamic and complex
challenges of post-conflict societies in Africa and of involving
stakeholders in developing policies and practices that affect them.
This important new publication also addresses frankly the tension
between justice, peace and reconciliation and deepens comprehension
of the ever-changing boundaries of transitional justice.
