Shattered Voices: Language, Violence, and the Work of Truth CommissionsUniversity of Pennsylvania Press, 24 нояб. 2010 г. - Всего страниц: 192 Following periods of mass atrocity and oppression, states are faced with a question of critical importance in the transition to democracy: how to offer redress to victims of the old regime without perpetuating cycles of revenge. Traditionally, balance has been restored through arrests, trials, and punishment, but in the last three decades, more than twenty countries have opted to have a truth commission investigate the crimes of the prior regime and publish a report about the investigation, often incorporating accounts from victims. |
