ABSTRACT
This chapter problematizes paradigmatic transitional justice in the context of settler colonialism in established liberal democracies. Following the leadership of Indigenous scholars, the chapter mobilizes the concepts of refusal, resurgence, and prefiguration to theorize decolonization and propose principles for radicalizing transitional justice to advance decolonization. The chapter explores existing alternative conceptualizations of transitional justice, i.e., local, victim-/survivor-centric, and transformative justice, to consider how these ideas and practices may enrich thinking on decolonizing transitional justice.
