Description

Truth and Indignation offers the first close and critical assessment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission as it’s unfolding. Niezen uses interviews with survivors and oblate priests and nuns, in addition to testimonies, texts, and visual materials produced by the Commission to raise essential questions: What makes Canada’s TRC different from others world wide? What types of narratives are emerging and what does that mean for reconciliation, transitional justice, and conceptions of traumatic memory? What happens to the ultimate goal of reconciliation when a big a part of the testimony—that of nuns, priests, and government officials—is scarcely evident in the Commission’s proceedings? Thoughtful, provocative, and uncompromising in the want to tell the “truth” as he sees it, Niezen offers a very powerful contribution to our understanding of TRC processes usually, and the Canadian experience in particular.
