The Arts of Transitional Justice

Published 23 August 2016
The Art of Transitional Justice examines the relationship between transitional justice and the practices of art associated
with it. Art, which includes theater, literature, photography, and film, has
been integral to the understanding of the issues faced in situations of
transitional justice as well as other issues arising out of
conflict and mass atrocity. The chapters in this volume take up this understanding
and its demands of transitional justice in situations in several countries:
Afghanistan, Serbia, Srebenica, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Cambodia, as well as
the experiences of resulting diasporic communities. In doing so, it brings to
bear the insights from scholars, civil society groups, and art practitioners,
as well as interdisciplinary collaborations.
