In Civil Society Narratives of Violence and Shaping the
Transitional Justice Agenda in Zimbabwe, Chenai G. Matshaka shows
the shaping of the transitional justice agenda in Zimbabwe from a
civil society perspective. Based on the understanding that
transitional justice approaches are couched within the lenses with
which the violence and conflict is understood, Matshaka explores
the complexities that arise when particular narratives of violence
dominate the agenda. These complexities include the exclusion of
other narratives from the agenda, as well as resistance from other
sections of society. This book contributes to a discussion on how
narratives intervene in the trajectory of a transitional justice
process of a society in ways that may be beneficial or detrimental
to breaking cycles of injustice and domination.
The book investigates the use of bottom-up, community based healing
and peacebuilding approaches, focusing on their strengths and
suggesting how they can be enhanced. The main contribution of the
book is an ethnographic investigation of how post-conflict
communities in parts of Southern Africa use their local resources
to forge a future after mass violence. The way in which Namibia’s
Herero and Zimbabwe’s Ndebele dealt with their respective
genocides is be a major contribution of the book. The focus of the
book is on two Southern African countries that never experienced
institutionalized transitional justice as dispensed in
post-apartheid South Africa via the famed Truth and Reconciliation
Commission. We answer the question: how have communities healed and
reconciled after the end of protracted violence and gross human
rights abuses in Zimbabwe and Namibia? We depart from statetist,
top-down, one-size fits all approaches to transitional justice and
investigate bottom-up approaches.
