Description: Coming into existence amid a wave of optimism in 2011, South Sudan has since slid into violence and conflict. Even in the face of escalating civil war however the people of the country continue to fight for justice despite a widespread culture of corruption and impunity. Drawing on extensive new research Rachel Ibreck examines people's lived experiences as they navigate South Sudan's fledgling justice system as well as the courageous efforts of lawyers activists and ordinary citizens to assert their rights and hold the government to account. In doing so the author reveals how justice plays out in a variety of settings from displacement camps to chiefs courts and in cases ranging from communal land disputes to the country's turbulent peace process. Based on a collaborative research project carried out with South Sudanese activists and legal practitioners the book also demonstrates the value of conducting researching with rather than simply about those affected by conflict. At heart this is a people's story of South Sudan - what works in this troubled country is what people do for themselves.
