... the multitude of perspectives and experiences that scholars and practitioners brought to this book make is outstanding. Legal scholars of criminal law and procedure, criminologists, political scientists, anthropologists, victimologists, communications specialists – they all add to this book their unique perspectives, emphasising once again that transitional justice is an interdisciplinary field.
- Iva Vukusic, Department of History and Art History, Utrecht University, International Criminal Law Review
This collection brings together an impressive range of scholars from different geographical contexts and career stages to explore the role of the public sphere in understanding ‘justice’ within a transitional justice framework, with a particular focus on legal justice. It will be of use to legal scholars, and to those interested in the role of the public sphere who would like a more nuanced understanding of the role of criminal courts within transitional justice frameworks.
