In Civil Society Narratives of Violence and Shaping the Transitional Justice Agenda in Zimbabwe, Chenai G. Matshaka shows the shaping of the transitional justice agenda in Zimbabwe from a civil society perspective. Based on the understanding that transitional justice approaches are couched within the lenses with which the violence and conflict is understood, Matshaka explores the complexities that arise when particular narratives of violence dominate the agenda. These complexities include the exclusion of other narratives from the agenda, as well as resistance from other sections of society. This book contributes to a discussion on how narratives intervene in the trajectory of a transitional justice process of a society in ways that may be beneficial or detrimental to breaking cycles of injustice and domination.
