- W2494426536 abstract "The other main focus of the TRC, apart from the production, acknowledgement and recognition of the truth, is to develop and promote reconciliation across and within the divided nation of South Africa – a divide that given its history and its massive levels of political violence and civil strife appears almost unbridgeable. Part of the uniqueness of the TRC is the way in which, at least compared with many other truth commissions, it is based on the notion of truth leading to reconciliation; hence the amnesty provisions for full disclosure of political crimes. When one considers the way that apartheid separated people, the way it divided and the way that it distorted and manipulated relationships, this might appear at first glance almost impossible. As has been mentioned, the TRC is seen as only one mechanism in the overall process of nation building. In fact, of course, the TRC is bound by the Act of Parliament by which it was brought into being. For the commission, it would be both impossible and undesirable to attempt to impose or force upon people national reconciliation even if it were feasible and practical in this sense. That remains true even if the majority of people who live in the ‘new’ South Africa shared a common understanding of the term itself. Reconciliation, it appears, is one of those long-term, cathartic processes which will work its way out in the new South Africa for many decades to come. Essentially, the issues being dealt with are long-standing emotional ones in what is and continues for the time being to be an ‘unhealthy’ society. The previous apartheid regime inflicted grievous damage to the South African body politic and the entire system of societal relations in South Africa. It might take decades to repair the kind of psychological, political, social and economic damage that has taken place. In this chapter I look at the various views and ideas about reconciliation and how they relate to the South African context. I will also assess how far the process of reconciliation has taken place since the truth commission began its work and ask how far they still have to go." @default.
