- catalog abstract ""Shea investigates the role of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa's transition from apartheid to democracy. She begins by examining the extent to which the creators of the TRC learned from the experiences of earlier, Latin American commissions. She then focuses on the politics of the TRC and their impact on the TRC's handling of such issues as amnesty, reparations, and prosecutions. The volume concludes by drawing lessons from the TRC's generally positive performance for other transitional societies contemplating setting up their own truth commissions."--Jacket.".
