'Professor Christie's insightful work is one of the first academic analyses in what will no doubt soon develop into a widely debated academic field. Its greatest strength lies in placing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission within a comparative international, academic, and political context. The book is a very competently accessible survey text for readers wishing to understand post-Apartheid South Africa's continuing attempts to come to terms with its past and a wider audience engaged with the wider question of remembering the twentieth century's very ambigious legacy.' - Iain Edwards 'By discussing the South African Truth Commission in the context of other attempts to grapple with the aftermath of painful conflict, Kenneth Christie has made a valuable contribution to understanding transitional societies and the problems of guilt and memory in the contemporary world.' - A.M. Johnston, Professor of Politics, University of Natal, Durban
