An important symposium on the process and legacy of the TRC that looks at historical and comparative, local and international perspectives, as well as unfinished business and building the assets of the nation. Has South Africa dealt effectively with the past, and is the country ready to face the future? What are the challenges facing both government and civil society in the years ahead? These and other questions are explored in this collection of essays by international and local commentators on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. A range of perspectives on whether the TRC met its objectives of truth and reconciliation is presented. The areas of particular contention - the payment of reparation, the granting of amnesty, and memorialisation - are also examined. Finally, the major challenges facing South Africa are identified, and ways of meeting these challenges and developing the assets of the nation are explored
