Abstract

"This study aims to reach into the complexities of political violence and to expand our understanding of the patterns of conflict that almost drew South Africans into a vortex of total disintegration during the apartheid era." "While many accounts have focused on the victims of state repression, this unique volume documents the often contradictory and confusing stories of those who acknowledge having committed some dreadful deeds. Individuals on various sides of the apartheid divide, from state security structures to the ANC, PAC and grassroots activists, tell their own stories." "The authors also offer the first critical examination of the TRC's amnesty process, show how media representations of perpetrators inform public perceptions, and scrutinise international scholarly reflection on the issue of political violence."--BOOK JACKET.
