Reviews
Legacies of State Violence and Transitional Justice in Latin America examines the cross-cutting temporalities and multiple frictions at play when various stakeholders debate how best to satisfy the claims to truth, memory, and justice amidst the legacies of violent and authoritarian regimes. This book raises important challenges to the existing transitional justice paradigm, amply demonstrating that social and economic rights are key components of victim-survivors' repertoire of justice. -- Kimberly Theidon, Fletcher School, Tufts University

[T]his book represents a valuable contribution to an emerging literature that abandons triumphalist discourses concerning TJ and calls for a critical examination of the ideological foundations, results and shortcomings of this paradigm * Journal of Latin American Studies * This is an excellent collection that should be read by all students and practitioners of transitional justice. The case studies cut through much of the verbiage that has dominated debate by showing what happens and has happened to real people on the ground. * Hispanic American Historical Review * Legacies of State Violence and Transitional Justice in Latin America examines the cross-cutting temporalities and multiple frictions at play when various stakeholders debate how best to satisfy the claims to truth, memory, and justice amidst the legacies of violent and authoritarian regimes.
