In their superb study of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, Kutnjak Ivkovich and Hagan probe the role trials and international criminal tribunals play in communities torn asunder by war and ethnic violence. Using empirical data collected over many years, they demonstrate how people and entire communities can interpret a tribunal's decisions, procedures, and even its very existence, in a variety of ways. iReclaiming Justicer is essential reading for all those interested in international law and transitional justice. * Eric Stover, Human Rights Center, University of California, Berkeley * Renowned and brilliant authors, Sanja Kutnjak Ivkovich and John Hagan, provide a unique view into the hearts and minds of those who ultimately matter in the arena of international criminal justice: the communities of victims and perpetrators as they emerge from ethnic conflict. They bring to life the ambiguous voices of victimhood and guilt embedded in the landscapes of defense and defeat, and overshadowed by politics. This book is indispensable reading for all who care deeply about the future of international criminal justice. * Susanne Karstedt, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Centre for Criminal Justice Studies, University of Leeds, School of Law * Required reading for anyone interested in the horrific crimes against humanity committed in the Former Yugoslavia, and the international response to it, namely the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The authors analysis of the local response ? based on survey data and their social science wisdom ? are relevant for other contexts. This is a remarkable contribution to understanding how a society unravels and how the international community responds. * Judith Blau, Professor of Sociology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill *
