South Africas Truth and Reconciliation Commission wasthe twenty first of its kind. It was more ambitious in the scope of itsenquiry, more transparent in the nature of its proceedings, and more highlycharged, symbolically, than any that preceded it. Its public hearings oftestimony from victims and perpetrators, drenched with emotion and drama, arewhat most people remember when they recall the TRC. Yet at the same time, therewere parallel processes of documentation, data analysis, quasi-judicial shiftingof evidence and writing up the results.
