Reviews

'This volume is an excellent and intellectually challenging choice for anyone who is interested in probing the conceptual, normative, and theoretical underpinnings of transitional justice. The book pushes the boundaries of the field through its thoughtful critiques of given assumptions, by adding new perspectives, and by linking to strands of theory that have been neglected in transitional justice scholarship so far.' Thomas Brudholm, University of Copenhagen, Denmark 'This diverse and philosophically rich collection brings together some of the most thoughtful and challenging voices in current debates. Theorizing Transitional Justice broadens and clarifies the concepts and structures underpinning policies of reconciliation and reckoning after conflict - connecting them to deep theories of justice and agency, as well as art and emotion. It will be immensely valuable to scholars and students, theorists and practitioners.' Alice MacLachlan, York University, Canada 'Offers an exceptionally diverse array of normative theory and research relating to the evolving field of Transitional Justice.' Ruti Teitel, New York Law School, USA
