Description

Spirals of Suffering offers reflections on healing in South Africa after the trauma of apartheid. Section 1 is an overview of the findings of the Goldstone Commission of Inquiry into the Effects of Public Violence on Children. Possibly the most comprehensive report of its kind, it tracks the effects of apartheid policy on the lives of black and white South Africans, with particular attention to state brutality, 'grand' apartheid and resistance politics.
