Transition and Justice cover

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
