South Africa - Where Is the Truth and Where Is the Reconciliation? 4.14.16

This series will look at transitional justice in South Africa and the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in that country. We will examine more closely some of its challenges and dilemmas as well as successes and failures and place the attempt at reconciliation and the “restoration of the everyday” in the context of contemporary political and social dynamics. Discussion will include some of the newly emergent global social movements seeking restorative justice and truth more widely.
