The Era of Transitional Justice explores a broad set of issues
raised by political transition and transitional justice through the
prism of the South African TRC. South Africa constitutes a powerful
case study of the enduring structural legacies of a troubled past,
and of both the potential and limitations of transitional justice
and human rights as agents of transformation in the contemporary
era. South Africa's story has wider relevance because it helped to
launch constitutional human rights and transitional justice as
global discourses; as such, its own legacy is to some extent writ
large in post-authoritarian and post-conflict contexts across the
world. Based on a decade of research, and in an analysis that is
both comparative and interdisciplinary, Paul Gready maintains that
transitional justice needs to do more to address structural
violence and in particular poverty, inequality and social and
criminal violence as these have emerged as stubborn legacies from
an oppressive or war-torn past in many parts of the world.
Organised around four central themes new keyword conceptualisation
(truth, justice, reconciliation); re-imagining human rights;
engaging with the past and present; remaking the public sphere it
is an argument that will be of considerable relevance to those
interested in the law and politics of transitional societies.
