Abstract: | This special issue of the 'African Journal on Conflict Resolution' discusses gender concerns and priorities that have emerged in recent transitional justice initiatives in Africa. The articles largely stem from a meeting hosted by the International Centre for Transitional Justice in Cape Town in September 2008. The opening article by Helen Scanlon and Kelli Muddell provides an overview of significant developments in the field of gender and transitional justice in Africa. Pamela Scully provides a feminist analysis of transitional justice processes in Africa. Ayumi Kusafuka deals with the work of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, arguing that this is an example of a missed opportunity to outline the links between apartheid's structural and gendered violence that continue to plague the country. Lotta Teale analyses the impact of transitional justice mechanisms set up to address gender-based violence in the Sierra Leone conflict. These articles are followed by Views from the field: Anu Pillay on Liberia, Sheila Meintjes on South Africa, Mary Ndlovu on Zimbabwe, and Harriet Nabukeera-Musoke on Uganda. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
