Ludic Ubuntu Ethics: Decolonizing Justice by Nagel, Mechthild instant download

Ludic Ubuntu Ethics: Decolonizing Justice develops a positive peace vision, taking a bold look at African and Indigenous justice practices and proposes new relational justice models. ‘Ubuntu’ signifies shared humanity, presenting us a sociocentric perspective of life that is immensely helpful in rethinking the relation of offender and victim. In this book, Nagel introduces a new theoretical liberation model—ludic Ubuntu ethics—to showcase five different justice conceptions through a psychosocial lens, allowing for a contrasting analysis of negative Ubuntu (e.g., through shaming and separation) toward positive Ubuntu (e.g., mediation, healing circles, and practices that no longer rely on punishment). Providing a novel perspective on penal abolitionism, the volume draws on precolonial (pre-carceral) Indigenous justice perspectives and Black feminism, using discourse analysis and a constructivist approach to justice theory. Nagel also introduces readers to a post-secular turn by taking seriously the spiritual dimensions of healing from harm and highlighting the community’s response.
