About this book
Reviews
Grounding her analysis in the understandings and experiences of survivors of state violence in Zimbabwe, Murambadoro exemplifies the intense engagement with local and national histories, with specific languages and conceptual frameworks, and with marginalized communities that is needed if transitional justice is to have meaning. A crucial corrective to the dominant Transitional Justice industry and a brilliant contribution to what it might mean to decolonize transitional justice.
– Adam Branch, Director, Centre of African Studies, University of Cambridge, UK
A timely book on Transitional Justice grounded on experiences of communities on a subject previously under-researched. The book reveals the challenges of rebuilding relationships and transforming communities that have experienced violence from bottom-up using unorthodox yet deeply rooted cultural norms. An important Afro-centric analogy based on the Zimbabwean experience, and a must read for Transitional Justice scholars and practitioners to appreciate what communities with deep cultures value most.
