Abstract

Transition and Justice examines a series of cases from across the African continent where peaceful 'new beginnings' were declared after periods of violence and where transitional justice institutions helped define justice and the new socio-political order. Offers a new perspective on transition and justice in Africa transcending the institutional limits of transitional justice. Covers a wide range of situations, and presents a broad range of sites where past injustices are addressed . Examines cases where peaceful 'new beginnings' have been declared after periods of violence. Addresses fundamental questions about transitions and justice in societies characterized by a high degree of external involvement and internal fragmentation.
