By what means did the Commission endeavor to understand South Africa's violent past and promote a spirit of national unity? Did the commission's acclaimed and controversial efforts help South Africans to walk the bridge from apartheid to nonracial democracy? This groundbreaking volume provides an explicit and often startling view of the Truth and reconciliation commission. In the name of understanding the commission's development, work, and findings, it features a rich variety of materials, including many selections from the TRC's archive of testimony and its Final Report that have yet to receive significant public scrutiny. These fundamental documents challenge conventional accounts of the Commission. They also shed light on how the Commission undertook a public process of history-making, attempted to deal with the past in a manner that gave voice to experiences long silenced, endeavoured to expose the violence of apartheid and the excesses of struggle, and demonstrated the political necessity of repairing a crime against humanity. For both citizen and student, this volume affords an opportunity to grapple with the difficult concepts of truth and reconciliation in South Africa and a chance to reflect on why these two simple words have challenged international preconceptions about the power and potential of African politics.

Truth & Reconciliation In South Africa: 10 Years On provides a realistic assessment of what a TRC can reasonably accomplish and provides an audit of the response of government and other agencies to the unfinished business of the Commission. This title features an edited transcript of a public symposium chaired by Tim Modise with participation from Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, Yasmin Sooka and several participants in the TRC's victim hearings. It also contains articles by leading researchers, activists and government officials tasked with implementing the TRC recommendations. It examines the complexities of translation and interpretation of personal testimonies in TRC sessions. It also reflects on the role of media, art and cultural exponents who grappled with South Africa's past.

  Jakaranda Time: An Investigator's View of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission -  Zenzile Khoisan - Photographs by George Hallett - 2001 - Paperback in very good condition - Dust cover: good - Internally: a clean a and tight copy. Investigative journalist Zanzile Khoisan served as one of the investigators at South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This is his insider account of the political machinations before, during and after the hearings. "This investigative diary of stacatto rhythm and urgent disclosure sometimes spins into brilliantly expressed observation. A fascinating read. Both personal and impersonal, it gives the reader in camera insight into the unsung role the investigation team of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission played in providing the critical background to the hearings. Angry and sensitive, poetic and witty, Khoisan is surely a writer in the making." Lindy Wilson, documentary filmmaker.

Africa The Time Has Come brings together 42 speeches by Thabo Mbeki, most of which were delivered after the elections of April 1994. These speeches reflect the remarkable consistency and logic in Mbeki's thoughts on issues such as socio-economic justice, the alleviation of poverty, the opening up of opportunities, the need for development, and the achievement of reconciliation through transformation - all of which are recurrent themes throughout his speeches. Coupled with Mbeki's vision for South Africa is his devotion to, and identification with the African continent, and his dream of an Africa Renaissance. Hardcover with dust jacket. Publisher: Tafelberg Publishers. 1998. 302 pages.
