The Limits of Transition: The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission 20 Years on de Mia Swart

The Limits of Transition: The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission 20 Years on

Editat de Mia Swart, Karin van Marle
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 aug 2017
The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission was a noble attempt to begin to address the continuing traumatic legacy of Apartheid. This interdisciplinary collection critiques the work of the TRC 20 years since its establishment.
Taking the paralysing political and social crises of the mid-1990s in South Africa as starting point, the book contains a collection of responses to the TRC that considers the notions of crisis, judgment and social justice. It asks whether the current political and social crises in South Africa are linked to the country’s post-apartheid transitional mechanisms, specifically, the TRC.
The fact that the material conditions of the lives of many Apartheid victims have not improved, forms a major theme of the book. Collectively, the book considers the ‘unfinished business’ of the TRC.

Recenzii

“This is an important book. It is important because it presumes transitional justice as ongoing, as a journey, and not as sealed or finite. Professors Swart and Van Marle have assembled a host of vivid, engaged voices. These voices examine the ‘unfinished business’ of the South African TRC. These voices – voices of optimism, voices of verve – teach us something: they teach us not to rue or regret that which is unfinished, but instead to seize upon that which is unfinished as opportunity and renewal.”
Mark A. Drumbl, Class of 1975 Alumni Professor of Law, Washington and Lee University.
