| Summary: | A key event in South Africa's recent past was the granting of amnesty through the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This thought-provoking collection of essays explores issues such as: Was amnesty in South Africa a political compromise? What are the advantages of truth commissions versus legal trials? Who decided who was granted amnesty and on what grounds? How do the victims feel about the truth commission process? Did the amnesty process make a meaningful contribution to reconciliation? |
