The 1990s and the 2000s saw a spate of so-called truth commissions across the Global South. From the inaugural Truth Commissions in post-juntas 1980s Latin America, to the ones in South Africa, Rwanda and Indigenous Australia, various truth commissions have sought to lay bare human rights abuses. The essays in the volume explore how truth commissions crystallised a long tradition of contestatory and resisting cultures of memorialization in the public sphere across the Global South and provided a significant template for contemporary attempts to work through episodes of violence and oppression across the region. Drawing on studies from Latin America, Africa, Asia and Australia, this book illuminates the modes in which societies remember and negotiate with traumatic pasts. This volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of human rights, popular culture, literature and history"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Reassessing South African truth and reconciliation : John Kani's missing and performative demands for justice / Kerry Bystrom -- The advancement of truth commissions on past affairs along with democratization in Korea : my experiences as a commissioner in three different truth commissions / Ahn Byung-ook -- Memories about truth : journalistic narratives, "true stories" and the clash of memories in Brazil's National Truth Commission / Andre Bonsanto Dias -- Ubu and the Truth Commission : the multiple contexts of the TRC and Ubu / Baron Glanvill -- Black memories of the Brazilian military dictatorship : the repression of black dances during the 1970s and the state of Rio Truth Commission / Luciana Xavier de Oliveira -- "That's the bad past we want to forget" : partial truths, reconciliation and memory in Namibia's post-apartheid democracy / Matthias Schulze -- Notice well : memory and reparation in the Brazilian documentary movies about the dictatorship / Monica Mourao -- Literature as witness : failure of a TRC following the mass rapes in Bosnia and Herzegovina / Natalie Paoli -- The practice of public apology : Australia says sorry to the stolen generations / Priyanka Shivadas -- The Gacaca courts : collective versus personal memory and trauma of the genocide in Rwanda / Veronique Tadjo -- Postface: Truth commissions and the reinvention of the past / Fernando Resende and Kirk B.
