Reviews

'This well articulated and impressive book provides far more than a case study of torture and transitional justice in Timor-Leste. Elizabeth Stanley's analysis of how torture was used and resisted as well as the efficacy of the extant transitional justice mechanisms for those victims provides a frame for critiquing and understanding common issues surrounding transitional justice modalities, victims' needs, and social justice far beyond the borders of Timor-Leste.' - Dawn L Rothe, Old Dominion University, Punishment and Society Journal, 2009 'Stanley's book deserves to be read and engaged with - it makes a valuable contribution to the literature and practice.' - Paul Hainsworth, University of Ulster, Aseasuk News no. 46 Autumn 2009
