Abstract:

This volume is a research monograph analysing the South African Truth and
Reconciliation Commission (TRC) from an ethnographic/linguistic point of
view. The central proposition of this book is that the TRC can be regarded
as a mechanism that leads to the hegemony of specific discourses, thus
excercising power. The analysis illustrates how, through a certain type of
<i>reconciliation discourse</i> constructed at the TRC hearings, a
reconciliation-oriented reality took shape in post-TRC South Africa.
Basically, the study points to the long-term implications a truth
commission can exert on a traumatised post-conflict society. The book is
unique on several levels: TRC discourse is explored in-depth on the basis
of personal stories from TRC testifiers; a combination of Poststructuralist
and Critical Discourse Analysis approaches form the theoretical
foundations; and an extensive bibliography provides an impressive database
of TRC publications.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such 
can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) 
Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations 
can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax 
payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your 
financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any 
gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting 
your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills 
in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure 
that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. 
Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
