Epilogue
Abstract
This brief epilogue synthesises the chapters in the book. It advances a number of observations. One is that the field of transitional justice is in crisis. A second is that a pervasive sense of malaise arises through transitional justice interventions. A third is that transitional justice has lost an authentic local touch in its quest for professionalism and officialisation. This leads the author to wonder whether there should be transitional justice for transitional justice to mitigate harm and ensure value. The epilogue ends on a note of optimism by encouraging the process of self-examination and critical appraisal.
