Description
Truth and Indignation offers the first close and critical
assessment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as it is
unfolding. Using interviews with survivors and oblate priests and nuns,
as well as testimonies, texts, and visual materials produced by the
Commission, Niezen raises some very important questions:
What makes
Canada's TRC different than others around the world? What kinds of
narratives are emerging and what do they mean for reconciliation,
justice, and conceptions of traumatic memory? And what happens to the
ultimate goal of reconciliation when a large part of the testimony—that
of nuns, priests, and government officials—is scarcely evident?
Thoughtful, provocative, and uncompromising, Niezen offers an important
contribution to our understanding of the TRC process in general, and the
Canadian experience in particular.
Ronald Niezen is a Professor in the Department of Anthropology and Canada Research Chair at McGill University.
