In \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding the Age of Transitional Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, the contributors analyze the processes, products, and efficacy of a number of transitional justice mechanisms and look at how genocide, mass political violence, and historical injustices are being institutionally addressed. They invite readers to speculate on what (else) the transcripts produced by these institutions tell us about the past and the present, calling attention to the influence of implicit history conveyed in the narratives that have gained an audience through international criminal tribunals, trials, and truth commissions. Nanci Adler has gathered leading specialists to scrutinize the responses to and effects of violent pasts that provide new perspectives for understanding and applying transitional justice mechanisms in an effort to stop the recycling of old repressions into new ones.  \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eIntroduction: On History, Historians, and Transitional Justice\u003cbr\u003e Nanci Adler\u003cbr\u003e Part I: Truth and Justice\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: Swinging the Pendulum: Fin de SiÈ\u003cbr\u003ecle Historians in the Courts\u003cbr\u003e Vladimir Petrović\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: Time, Justice and Human Rights: Statutory Limitation on the Right to Truth?\u003cbr\u003e William A.
