Recenzje

'A highly readable rendering of the current state of the field of transitional justice; ecumenical and comprehensive, it embraces the project of how to reckon with the past.' Ruti Teitel, New York Law School, author of Globalizing Transitional Justice 'This book masterfully contextualises the dizzying array of theoretical work in transitional justice while doing full service to disagreements. Reflective, critical and persuasive, it is ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate study.' Padraig McAuliffe, University of Liverpool 'Michael Newman provides an excellent and up-to-date summary of the literature and approaches to transitional justice that will be invaluable for students, scholars and practitioners, as well as making important interventions of his own on topics as diverse as gender, culture and climate change.' Rachel Kerr, King's College London
