Andrew Rigby is the director of the Centre for the Study of Forgiveness and Reconciliation at the University of Coventry. In Justice And Reconciliation: After The Violence, Rigby provides a compelling, thought-provoking analysis of government sponsored domestic terrorism against its own people in South America, Europe, and South Africa, the populations of whom have searched for justice and a way to reconcile the unspeakable crimes. Amnesty and amnesia, ethnic cleansing, and a worst-case scenario for Palestine are all considered in this sobering, meticulous analysis. The last chapter is of especial note, for it depicts the characteristics of a culture of reconciliation - the peace, truthfulness, justice, and forgiveness that can truly allow a nation to transform itself for the better. Highly recommended for international studies and political science reading lists and reference collections.
