Restorative Justice Mini-Course: Lecture 5

Emergent Directions for Restorative Justice as Racial Justice: Musings on Possible Futures

Quotes:
Fania Davis, The Little Book of Race and Restorative Justice: Black Lives, Healing, and US Social Transformation (New York: Good Books, 2019), 35:
“Healing interpersonal harm requires a commitment to transforming the context in which the injury occurs: the socio-historical conditions and institutions that are structured precisely to perpetuate harm. This commitment may mean viewing restorative justice as not only healing individual harm, but also as transforming social structures and institutions that are themselves purveyors of massive harm…The success of restorative justice depends on seeing ourselves not only as agents of individual transformation, but also as drivers of systems transformation.”
