What is healing justice? Who practices it? What does it look like?
In this groundbreaking international comparative study on healing
justice, Jarem Sawatsky examines traditional communities including
Hollow Water - an Aboriginal and Metis community in Canada renowned
for their holistic healing work in the face of 80 per cent sexual
abuse rates; the Iona Community - a dispersed Christian ecumenical
community in Scotland known for their work towards peace, healing
and social justice, rebuilding of community and the renewal of
worship; and Plum Village - a Vietnamese initiated Buddhist
community in southern France, and home to Nobel Peace Prize
nominated author, Thich Nhat Hanh. These case studies record a
search for the kind of social, structural, and spiritual
relationships necessary to sustain a healing view of justice.
Through comparing cases, Sawatsky identifies the common patterns,
themes, and imagination which these communities share. These
commonalities among those that practice healing justice are then
examined for their implications for wider society, particularly for
restorative justice and criminal justice. This innovative book is
accessible to those new to the topic, while at the same time being
beneficial to experienced researchers, and will appeal
internationally to practitioners, students, and anyone interested
in restorative justice, law, peace building, and religious studies.
