Short description:

Identities in Transition brings together a group of international researchers and practitioners who examine transitional justice through an 'identity' lens.

Long description:

In many societies, histories of exclusion, racism and nationalist violence often create divisions so deep that finding a way to deal with the atrocities of the past seems nearly impossible. These societies face difficult practical questions about how to devise new state and civil society institutions that will respond to massive or systematic violations of human rights, recognize victims and prevent the recurrence of abuse. Identities in Transition: Challenges for Transitional Justice in Divided Societies brings together a rich group of international researchers and practitioners who, for the first time, examine transitional justice through an 'identity' lens. They tackle ways that transitional justice can act as a means of political learning across communities; foster citizenship, trust and recognition; and break down harmful myths and stereotypes, as steps toward meeting the difficult challenges for transitional justice in divided societies.

'Arthur's edited volume provides an extremely useful tool for the practitioner. Taking a multidimensional approach that understands identities as multiple and complex, the book offers both an indepth and a broad view of the difficult terrain that transitional processes have to traverse, and via country cases studies sets out the different strategies that could be adopted in achieving political reconciliation in postconflict societies.' Ambika Satkunanathan, International Journal of Transitional Justice
