The original edition of Truth and Indignation offered the first close and critical assessment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) as it was unfolding. Niezen used testimonies, texts, and visual materials produced by the Commission as well as interviews with survivors, priests, and nuns to raise important questions about the TRC process. He asked what the TRC meant for reconciliation, transitional justice, and conceptions of traumatic memory.

In this updated edition, Niezen discusses the Final Report and Calls to Action bringing the book up to date and making it a valuable text for teaching about transitional justice, colonialism and redress, public anthropology, and human rights. Thoughtful, provocative, and uncompromising in the need to tell the "truth" as he sees it, Niezen offers an important contribution to understanding truth and reconciliation processes in general, and the Canadian experience in particular.

Product description

Review

"...a tremendous step forward from a scholarly human rights culture that has been overly awed by the truth commission phenomenon and far too slow in probing beneath the surfaces." -- Human Rights Quarterly

"Niezen opts for a clinical remove from the moral content of the story, in order to observe the TRC more critically. There was an easier book to write, but Truth and Indignation is more nuanced, more challenging, and as a result more stimulating." -- Literary Review of Canada

"A rare combination of intellectual poetry and absolutely necessary social science." -- Mark Goodale, University of Lausanne

"A brilliant book!" -- Rhoda E. Howard-Hassmann, Wilfrid Laurier University

"Niezen pushes the boundaries of our understanding of what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission can and should mean." -- Joanna Quinn, Centre for Transitional Justice and Post-Conflict Reconstruction, Western University

This is an important book: do try to read it

Reviewed in Canada on August 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is an important book to read. The subject matter is especially significant for readers in countries dealing with with a dispossessed indigenous population. The author considers many facets of the problem and appears fair in his comments and conclusions. My problem with the book is entirely technical; I found the language and syntax difficult and often had to read each phrase two or three times to see what he was getting at. But do not let this dissuade you from tackling the book: it is important, and, thank goodness, it is short.

Yes, the truth in this book will produce indignation in the mind of natives as well as other Canadians from British, French or other origin. Read John Saul after that and indignation will flourish.

An excellent book which présents with intelligence and respect for complexity an issue that is divisive and too often source
of polarization. I also love the style of the author who can draw our attention and keep it focused by being both very concrete and deep
in his analysis and constantluy widening the horizons. Yes, it is meaningful reference, a real good News on this critical social issue in the Candian landscape.

Poor research makes poor history

Reviewed in Canada on July 12, 2016

Verified Purchase

Willful blindness, biased research, erroneous conclusions. Perverse ignorance masquerading as "objective" research. Count on this to contribute to an academic debate between those who have time to refute it and those who find him him helpful in their effort to maintain their own blindness.
