Alternative Approaches to Preventing Violent Extremism: Using a Transitional Justice Lens Edited by Professor Cheryl Hendricks, Patrick Hajayandi, and Professor Tim Murithi

Violent extremism remains one of the most pressing challenges confronting the African continent, especially across the Horn of Africa, Sahel and Mozambique. The over-emphasis on security‑focused and military responses have often failed to address the deeper grievances, injustices, and structural inequalities that fuel radicalization and extremism in these regions. This timely edited volume offers an innovative perspective by applying a transitional and reparative justice lens to preventing violent extremism.
