Unsettling Accounts

""Unsettling Accounts" is an extremely valuable contribution to social science scholarship. Leigh A. Payne's complex and nuanced analysis of when, why, and how perpetrators confess is far more sophisticated than any other research that I know of."--Lesley Gill, author of "The School of the Americas: Military Training and Political Violence in the Americas" ""Unsettling Accounts" is unique in transitional justice literature in its extended focus on individual perpetrators and on confessions. Leigh A. Payne links individual stories to some of the most pressing questions in transitional justice scholarship."--Kathryn Sikkink, author of "Mixed Signals: U.S. Human Rights Policy and Latin America"

Leigh A. Payne is a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
