Book chapter, ‘Transitional Justice Temporalities’

“This chapter argues that notions of time and temporality are central to the study and practice of transitional justice. … Transitional justice practices often promote a vision of justice for harms committed in a relatively recent past that has been—or soon will be—successfully overcome. In doing so, they may make it more difficult to account not only for continuing harm and inequality but for complex, contested pasts. … By assessing time from multiple perspectives, the chapter calls for closer attention to the ways in which justice institutions may unwittingly reinforce rather than transform past and present forms of temporal domination.”
