Summary
"Addressed to citizen, activist and scholar, Pieces of the Puzzle is a practical and wide-ranging guide to understanding the key social, political and cultural terms of transitional justice and reconciliation. What can a truth commission achieve? What can it not do? What is reconciliation exactly? Who benefits from restorative justice? How does the work of nation-building raise difficult questions about the dynamics of amnesty, reparation and the promotion of human rights? How do the pieces of the puzzle fit together? In this book, South African and interntional experts offer concise and direct replies to some of the most common questions and problems that appear when nations wracked by historical conflict begin the work of democratisation and reconstruction."
