Domenica Preysing offers a critical reading of

“transitional justice” that focuses on political dynamics in post-revolutionary

Tunisia, from the ouster of president Ben Ali in January 2011 until the

adoption of transitional justice bill in December 2013. She explores the role,

structure and characteristics of evolving transitional justice policy discourse

to provide a better understanding of how, by who, and to what effect the policy

label “transitional justice” is progressively filled with meaning. She shows

that conflicting interpretations of both the past and the present have been

both deeply embedded in and an expression of the dynamic context of domestic

political transformation, as old and new elites struggle over the political

identity and direction of post-Ben Ali Tunisia.
