The Politics of Atrocity and Reconciliation available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The Politics of Atrocity and Reconciliation examines contemporary political violence and atrocity in the context of the crisis of the nation-state. It explores the way violence is used to unmake the social world and how its product: suffering, is used to try to remake the social world. Humphrey considers both the unmaking of the world through torture, war, urbicide and ethnic cleansing and the resultant remaking of the world through testimony and witnessing in the forums of truth commissions and trials. The discussion thus moves from terror to trauma.

On Reconciliation After Extreme Political Violence and Atrocity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The dissertation aims to identify and interrogate the tools for reconciliation available to societies emerging from a recent history of extreme political violence. It offers a 'multivalent' theory of reconciliation, which emphasizes the essentially disjunctured and uneven process of reconciliation across social space. Most contemporary theoretical literature on reconciliation falls into one of two camps: a 'minimalist' approach, which defines reconciliation as nothing more than peace and the return of the rule of law, and a 'maximalist' approach, which claims that broad-based repentance and forgiveness are necessary for reconciliation. The dissertation claims that neither level is satisfactory, largely because they are both 'univalent' (the first focusing only on legal institutions, the second on interpersonal, theologically-inflected relations). The dissertation argues that reconciliation is better theorized as occurring across four social levels: political society, institutional, civil society and the personal. It employs five normative concepts to analyze reconciliation across these levels: the commitment to truth, accountability, victim recognition, rule of law, and mutual respect and tolerance. Such a normative model, it is argued, offers a more nuanced theoretical understanding of how reconciliatory initiatives -- such as truth commissions, trials, public apologies and similar efforts -- can work together or at cross-purposes on different social levels.--Author's abstract.

Transforming Societies after Political Violence available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Paraphrasing Descartes, we may say that one method is to take the reader into your conf idence by explaining to him how you arrived at your discovery; the other is to bully him into accepting a conclusion by parading a series of propositions which he must accept and which lead to it. The first method allows the reader to re-think your own thoughts in their natural order. It is an autobiographical style. Writing in this style, you include, not what you had for breakfast on the day of your discovery, but any significant consideration which helped you arrive at your idea. In particular, you say what your aim was – what problems you were trying to solve and what you hoped from a solution of them. The other style suppresses all this. It is didactic and intimidating. J. W. N. Watkins, Confession is Good for Ideas (Watkins, 1963, pp. 667–668) I began writing this book over 12 years ago. It was started in the midst of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). It is an exploration of what I have learned from the process. During the TRC, I was working at the Centre for the Study of Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) in South Africa, primarily with people who testified before the Commission, but also on a range of research and policy initiatives in the area that is now called ‘transitional justice’. I have written about the TRC process extensively.
