'In Justice Framed, Marcos Zunino tracks the emergence of a 'right' way to transcend massive human rights abuses. This way involves technical legalism, sympathy for capitalism, and the centrality of the state. Transitions that lack these elements become overlooked and forgotten: written off as populist and political. Zunino brilliantly challenges this willful myopia. He renders invisibles visible and enlivens the historical record. Justice Framed is an emancipatory book - a must read - that liberates transitional justice from the straitjacket of dogma and peer pressure.' Mark Drumbl, Director of the Transnational Law Institute, Washington and Lee University, Virginia 'Zunino's careful and sophisticated genealogy of transitional justice is a major achievement with revolutionary implications. From its identification of the Argentine template in the origins of the field to its thrilling coverage of the 'prefabricated history' for transitional justice retroactively located in the Nuremberg trials, Justice Framed should force a reckoning with the selective politics of recent causes.' Samuel Moyn, Henry R. Luce Professor of Jurisprudence, Yale Law School, Yale University, Connecticut 'Why is transitional justice what we think it is? In powerfully explaining how transitional justice came to be how we know it today, Marcos Zunino also reveals what it could have been and could become. With this book, transitional justice has a new classic.'
