Genocide Never Sleeps
«'Overall, in full reverence to the old anthropological adage of making the familiar strange, Eltringham does a superb job of turning the site of international tribunals into an unfamiliar new terrain with fascinating insights to debate for anthropologists and legal scholars alike.'

Accounts of international criminal courts have tended to consist of reflections on abstract legal texts, on judgements and trial transcripts. Genocide Never Sleeps, based on ethnographic research at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), provides an alternative account, describing a messy, flawed human process in which legal practitioners faced with novel challenges sought to reconfigure long-standing habits and opinions while maintaining a commitment to 'justice'.
