Introduction 1. Setting the stage 2. Conflict 3. Pluralism 4. Compromise Conclusion: Nine these on transitional justice and one question
There is a memorable line by the ancient Greek poet Archilochus: "The Fox knows many things but the hedgehog knows one big thing". Drawing on this metaphor made popular by Isaish Berlin, this book sets out to 'things like a fox' about transitional justice in an intellectual environmental largely dominated by hedgehogs. Critical of the unitary 'hedgehog-like' vison underlying mainstream discourse, this book purposes a pluralist reading of the field. It asks: What would it mean for transitional justice to constructively deal with conflicts of values and interests in societies grappling with violent past? and what would it imply to make meaningful room for diversity, to see " the many" rather than just " the one" ?
