“This masterful study provides a balanced, nuanced assessment of
Rwanda’s local courts, showing how diverse social dynamics
influenced both the operations of gacaca and its outcomes in
different local communities. Essential reading for anyone
interested in transitional justice and conflict resolution, in
Rwanda and beyond.”—Catharine Newbury, Smith College
“This is that rare book that systematically examines how ordinary
people respond to the transitional justice enacted in their name.
Bert Ingelaere’s multisited and multimethod ethnography is a model
for how to get at local understandings of grassroots mechanisms.
His findings suggest cautionary lessons for anyone interested in
making postconflict justice and reconciliation more
community-based.”—Lars Waldorf, University of York
