However, as Wilson shows, the TRC's restorative justice approach to healing the nation did not always serve the needs of communities at a local level. Based on extended anthropological fieldwork, this book illustrates the impact of the TRC in urban African communities in the Johannesburg area. While a religious constituency largely embraced the Commission's religious-redemptive language of reconciliation, Wilson argues that the TRC had little effect on popular ideas of justice as retribution. This provocative study deepens our understanding of post-apartheid South Africa and the use of human rights discourse. It ends on a call for more cautious and realistic expectations about what human rights institutions can achieve in democratizing countries."--Jacket.10aSouth Africa.bTruth and Reconciliation Commission. 7aSince 19942fast 0aReconciliationxPolitical aspectszSouth Africa. 0aApartheidzSouth Africa. 0aPost-apartheid erazSouth Africa. 0aRetribution. 0aReward (Theology) 0aPunishment. 4aTruth and Reconciliation Commission.  ihas work:aThe politics of truth and reconciliation in South Africa (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCFCBt96VMPvhYg6CmPP6Gb4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork 0aCambridge studies in law and society.413Dawsonerauhttp://www.dawsonera.com/depp/reader/protected/external/AbstractView/S9780511670336413Table of contentsuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/cam028/2001018100.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam021/2001018100.html42uhttp://lib.leeds.ac.uk/search/febook3150317zThis title is also available as an eBook.
