Untold Stories: Ex-Combatant Silences in Sierra Leone’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission
ABSTRACT
The transformative promises of truth commissions equate participation with agency. This article empirically thickens understandings of local agency within transitional justice by disentangling the ways in which ex-combatants were silenced by, and chose silence within, Sierra Leone’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Illuminating externally enforced silences reveals the theft of agency experienced by ex-combatants within the TRC. Examining TRC silences chosen by ex-combatants exposes the agency of silences deployed by this population and unsettles assumptions that equate participation with agency.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Intervention and Statebuilding is a cross-disciplinary journal devoted to critical analysis of international intervention, focussing on interactions and practices that shape, influence and transform states and societies. In 21st century political practice, states and other actors increasingly strive to transplant what they see as normatively progressive political orders to other contexts. Accordingly, JISB focuses on the complex interconnections and mutually shaping interactions between donor and recipient communities within military, economic, social, or other interventional contexts, and welcomes perspectives on political life of, and beyond, European state-building processes. The journal brings together academics and practitioners from cross-disciplinary backgrounds, including international relations, political science, political economy, sociology, international law, social anthropology, geography, and regional studies. The editors are particularly interested in specific or comparative in-depth analyses of contemporary or historical interventions and state-building processes that are grounded in careful fieldwork and/or innovative methodologies. Multi or cross-disciplinary contributions and theoretically challenging pieces that broaden the study of intervention and state building to encompass processes of decision-making, or the complex interplay between actors on the ground, are especially encouraged.
