The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is a
modern social drama that enabled the nation 's apartheid past to be
constructed as a cultural trauma, and by doing so created a new
collective narrative of diversity and inclusion. The TRC relied
primarily on testimonies from victims and perpetrators of apartheid
violence who came forward to tell their stories in a public forum.
Rather than simply serving as data for setting the historical
record straight, this book shows that it was not only the content
of these testimonies but also how these stories were told and what
values were attached to them that became significant. Goodman
argues that the performative nature of the TRC process effectively
designated the past as profane and simultaneously imagined a sacred
future community based on democratic idealism and universal
solidarity.
