Abstract

Abstract This chapter covers the key concepts of reparative governmentalities in transitional justice. It also elaborates on the reparations processes in settler colonial societies under the rubric of transitional justice. Transitional justice is used to govern through repair in settler colonial contexts, which specifies the reparative governmentalities that are operative in Canadian reparations for the wrongs committed through Indian Residential Schools. The chapter cites that redress processes are calibrated toward fostering justice for a wronged party while also affirming status quo societal conditions. It considers how to resist the diffusion of power through processes that are ostensibly intended to provide justice.
