Parents, Children, and the Ripples of Transitional Justice

This pioneering collection breaks new ground by examining how post-atrocity justice affects and is informed by familial relationships, particularly between parents and children.

Moving beyond traditional discussions of victims and perpetrators, this volume centres the dynamics of care, responsibility, and identity in the aftermath of mass atrocity. It explores how attempts at addressing legacies of mass atrocity can undermine or strengthen families. Drawing on global case studies and innovative interdisciplinary insights, chapters reveal how socially constructed ideas about parenthood and childhood inform notions of responsibility with and for children within transitional justice frameworks.
