商品簡介
Examining the practices of South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Ross (social anthropology, U. of Cape Town, South Africa) presents an ethnographic account of the operation of gender in the Commissions activities. She argues that the Commission's focus on "gross violations of human rights" elided the experience of women under the apartheid regime. She explores how women, in their testimonies, alluded to their own experiences and examines the meanings of everyday activities of women activists under apartheid. Distributed by Stylus.
