Produktbeschreibung

This collection challenges established approaches to transitional justice by opening up new dialogues about the problem of assembling lawâ s archive. By treating the law as an â archiveâ , this book trace the failure of universalized categories such as â perpetratorâ , â victimâ , â responsibleâ , and â innocentâ posited by the liberal legal state.
