<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Truth and Reconciliation Commission chaired by Archbishop Desmond Tutu is widely recognized as a defining experience in South Africa's transition to democratic and non-racial rule. This anthology, uniquely combining contributions by some of the Commissioners and their staff, those who bore witness, and scholars, reviews the context in which the TRC did its work.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"An indispensable painful plunge into the process of healing in South Africa that does not spare us emotionally or intellectually. By telling the truth about how the truth itself was told and also hidden, this provocative book deepens our understanding of both violence and redemption." --<i>Ariel Dorfman</i> <p/>"The TRC has made a significant contribution to political transition. It has, inevitably, also left us with unfinished business, which now becomes the task of us all. This book makes an important contribution to this process." --<i>Barney Pityana, Chairperson, South African Human Rights Commission</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Charles Villa-Vicencio is the former director of research of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. His coeditor, Wilhelm Verwoerd, teaches in the department of philosophy at the University of Stellenbosch, and was a former researcher with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.<br>Charles Villa-Vicencio is the former director of research of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
