Why, then, do people in Kenya and Uganda engage in justice processes that offer so little, so late? How and why do they become the court's victims and intermediaries, and what impact do these labels have on them? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003eVictims and the Labour of Justice at the International Criminal Court\u003c\/em\u003e offers a response to these poignant questions, demonstrating that the notion of 'justice for victims' is not merely symbolic, expressive, or instrumental. On the contrary -- the book argues -- the ICC's methods of victim engagement are productive, reproducing the Court as a relevant institution and transforming victims in the Global South into highly gendered and racialized labouring subjects. Challenging the Court's interplay with global capitalist relationships, the book makes visible the hidden labour of justice, and how it lures, disciplines, and blames both victims and victims' advocates. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on critical theory, criminological analysis, and multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in The Hague, Kenya, and Uganda, \u003cem\u003eVictims and the Labour of Justice at the International Criminal Court\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates how the drive to include victims as participants in international criminal justice proceedings also creates and disciplines them as blameworthy capitalist subjects. Yet, as victim workers learn to 'stop crying', 'be peaceful', 'get married', 'work hard', and 'repay debt', they also begin to challenge the terms of global justice.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45321513926807,"sku":"9780198870258","price":16252.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198870258.webp?v=1768582459","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/victims-and-the-labour-of-justice-at-the-international-criminal-court-9780198870258","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
