South Africa was once a land of apartheid and the deepest racial oppression. In April 1994, a new, democratic, and free South Africa was born. To build a new South Africa, the government had to face problems left over from the past, remove racial hatred, and achieve national reconciliation. This book explains why South Africa, at a critical moment of social change, chose to forego the options of the Nuremberg trials and “national amnesia,” in favor of a third way, namely exchanging amnesty for the truth to achieve reconciliation between perpetrators and victims.
Desmond Tutu, South Africa's first black archbishop, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009. When he was on the cusp of retirement, he was appointed chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where he experienced firsthand the process of facilitating racial reconciliation in South Africa. After his retirement, Tutu became a member of an organization known as The Elders, where he worked with a group of leaders to promote human rights equality around the world.
