Description
Book SynopsisIn the mid-1990's the Truth and Reconciliation Commission disclosed its findings on the reality of the apartheid era in South Africa. This is the product of a dialogue inspired by this, which investigates the history, theology, philosophy and politics of race and reconciliation in South Africa.
Trade ReviewThis book makes a contribution to a better understanding of racism and injustice in South Africa, and a better understanding of what South Africans have achieved in the past several years. I thank William Van Vugt, Daan Cloete, and the other contributors for their work. -- Archbishop Emeritus Desmond M. Tutu
