Peace, Trauma, and Religion in Post-Apartheid South Africa
When the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was a established in 1996 it quickly became the gem of peacemaking efforts around the globe. The TRC became a sort of gold standard for conflict resolution and reconciliation processes around the world. Nearly 22 years after its establishment South Africa is still wrestling with the legacy and effects of Apartheid.
ACRPJ is inviting the public to attend a series of public lectures investigating the complexities of truth telling in the reconciliation process, the legacy of colonialism and racism, and identities in “Post”-Apartheid South Africa, as well as the role of religion and theology in “Post”-Apartheid South Africa
