Abstract

The first book to explore the complex relationship between law and literature in testimony to crimes of apartheid before South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, 'Ambiguities of Witnessing' closely analyzes key individual testimonies. Whereas most existing books on this and other truth commissions are weighed down by abstract legal and philosophical discussion, this book does justice to witnesses' public testimony in a fascinating and theoretically sophisticated investigation of questions of human rights, mourning, forgiveness, and reparation. Framed by the personal, 'Ambiguities of Witnessing' also meditates on what it means for the writer to respond to this epochal event in the history of post-apartheid South Africa.
