Overcoming Apartheid: Can Truth Reconcile a Divided Nation?
Publisher:
Ohio State University. Mershon Center for International Security StudiesAbstract:
Gibson presents a paper that
directly investigates the hypothesis that truth leads to
reconciliation. Based on a survey of 3,700 South Africans in
2001, Gibson gives both “truth” and “reconciliation” conceptual
and operational meaning. He then reports empirical evidence that
the “truth” as promulgated by the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission is fairly widely accepted by South Africans, of least
some degree of reconciliation characterizes South Africa today;
and that the collective produced by the process (“truth”) did
indeed contribute to reconciliation.
