Niezen, Ronald
Description
"Truth and Indignation offers the first close and critical assessment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as it was unfolding. Niezen uses testimonies, texts, and visual materials produced by the Commission as well as interviews with survivors, priests, and nuns to raise important questions about the TRC process. He asks what the TRC meant for reconciliation, transitional justice, and conceptions of traumatic memory"--publisher's website.
