An original and powerful book. It is a valuable collection of essays documenting different ways of reweaving the warp and woof of torn societies through justice-based processes. Its most important contribution, however, is theoretical: a concept of justice that marries individual agency with the life-giving web of human relationships in a way that will benefit theorists and practitioners alike.
