After the transition to democracy in 1994, South Africa reached out to perpetrators of violence from all conflicting parties by giving amnesty to those who fully disclosed their politically motivated crimes. This 2007 volume provides a comprehensive analysis of South Africa's amnesty scheme in its practical and normative dimensions. Through empirical analysis of over 1000 amnesty decisions made by the Amnesty Committee of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the study measures the scheme against its stated goals of truth recovery, victim empowerment and perpetrator accountability. It also explores normative questions raised by the absence of punishment. Highlighting the distinctive nature of South Africa's conditional amnesty as an exceptional 'rite of passage' into the new, post-conflict society, it argues that the amnesty scheme is best viewed as an attempt to construct a new 'justice script' for a society in transition, in which a legacy of politically motivated violence is being addressed.

L'Europe monétaire est bien en place. Cette réalisation inouïe, visible par tous les citoyens dans leur quotidien, confère une nouvelle identité à la construction européenne. Ce livre retrace la longue histoire de l'Europe monétaire de la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale à nos jours. Une histoire qui a connu plusieurs phases successives : rétablissement d'une normalité monétaire après la Guerre, fonctionnement d'un système monétaire international sous l'égide du dollar américain, développement d'une nouvelle ambition européenne en proie aux difficultés et désordres des années 1970, élaboration du traité de Maastricht dans une Europe en voie de réunification, enfin naissance de l'union économique et monétaire et de l'euro. On y voit s'entrecroiser les facteurs économiques et financiers, les politiques nationales, des destins de personnalités qui ont contribué à façonner l'histoire ainsi que le tumulte des débats entre experts sous l'oeil des médias et de l'opinion publique. Basée sur des sources d'une grande variété et rédigée dans un style passionnant, cette étude historique novatrice constitue une lecture indispensable pour quiconque s'intéresse aux origines d'un projet qui a changé l'Europe et pourrait avoir de grandes implications sur l'économie du monde.

The 1870 Ghost Dance was a significant but too often disregarded transformative historical movement with particular impact on the Native peoples of northern California. The spiritual energies of this "great wave," as Peter Nabokov has called it, have passed down to the present day among Native Californians, some of whose contemporary individual and communal lives can be understood only in light of the dance and the complex religious developments inspired by it.

Duncan Du Bois provides a detailed and fascinating history of a hitherto much-neglected part of what was the colony of Natal. Based primarily on original archival research, he traces the southward advance of the white settler frontier and its sugar-based economy from Isipingo to the Mzimkulu river and, without the sugar engine, to the Mtamvuna.

Justice and Reconciliation in Post-Apartheid South Africa assesses the transitional processes under way since the early 1990s to create a stable and just society. Change in South Africa is often credited to the efforts of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), but the work of this institution forms but a facet of a much broader picture. This book looks at the steps which accompanied and followed the TRC's activities, such as land restitution, institutional reforms and social and cultural initiatives. Thematically, it interlinks the TRC's concerns over truth and reconciliation with an analysis of the concepts of justice, accountability, harm and reconciliation and with competing perceptions of what these notions entail in the South African context. Bringing together international and South African scholars whose work has focused on these themes, the contributions provide a cohesive and inspiring analysis of South Africa's response to its unjust past.
