About the book

A landmark study of reconciliation and restorative justice in action. Profound and inspiring in its holistic view of justice, this book draws on the wisdom of the people of Bougainville in the Pacific as they heal the wounds of their civil war. In the process, Bougainville shows the world how indigenous people can reclaim their justice system, at times applying restorative justice even to solving and healing crimes as serious as murder. This book shows how a people's peace can prevail over a war that was a product of colonisation.
