Commissioning the Past Understanding South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission

This work includes the uncensored voices of survivors of human rights abuses who testified before South Africa's Truth and Reconcilation Commission and in whose name the hearings were undertaken. The views of three groups with different perspectives are reported: academic scholars, commissioners and researchers and people who related stories of victimization perpetrated on themselves or a family member. The emerging dialogue between "outsiders" and "insiders, " and between national, local, and individual experiences is a distinguishing feature of the book.Posel, Deborah is the author of 'Commissioning the Past Understanding South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission' with ISBN 9781868143580 and ISBN 1868143589.
