商品簡介
A researcher specializing in local and global justice issues, Goodman has worked with non-government organizations in South Africa, and explores how black and white South Africans have managed to overcome the legacy of so many years of segregation and repression and to construct a sense of social solidarity within which they live together as members of the same moral and national community. Further, she generalizes from the South Africa experience to propose a set of principles and processes by which other previously interminable conflicts might finally be terminated. She begins by setting out the historical and theoretical foundations, then discusses testimony at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the media as sympathetic interpreters, and analyzing positive audience response to the Commission's narrative. A final chapter reflects on ramifications and conclusions. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
