| Synopsis: |
With faith in the works of words is the first book to look behind the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and examine reconciliation's larger and fundamental role in the transition from apartheid to nonracial democracy. In doing so, it finds that there have been many beginnings of reconciliation in South Africa. Based on documents that have received little public attention, including controversial texts from the religious community and fascinating transcripts from South Africa's constitutional negotiations, the title reveals how reconciliation was used to energize the struggle against apartheid and the ways in which it underwrote the negotiated revolution, including the development of a constitution whose very promise was pegged to the willingness of South Africans to pursue the work of "reconciliation and reconstruction." Faith in the works of words challenges many common assumptions about the discourse and dynamics of reconciliation in South Africa. An important history of reconciliation's rhetorical power, this title shows how reconciliation shaped the process of South African nation-building long before the TRC took to the stage and captured the world's imagination. |
