Since the early 1990s, international rights groups have argued that resolving the violence of the past through instruments of transitional justice such as truth commissions is a necessary condition for a peaceful future. But how can nations ensure that these tribunals are the best path to reconciliation? The Politics of Acknowledgement develops a theoretical framework of acknowledgement with which to evaluate truth commissions. Rather than applying this framework to successful tribunals, Joanna Quinn uses it to analyze the difficulties encountered and the ultimate failure of two poorly understood truth commissions in Uganda and Haiti. The failure of these commissions reveals that if reconciliation is to be achieved, acknowledgement of past violence and harm ? by both victims and perpetrators ? must come before goals such as forgiveness, social trust, civic engagement, and social cohesion. 410 0$aLaw and society series (Vancouver, B.C.) 606 $aTruth commissions$zUganda 606 $aTruth commissions$zHaiti 606 $aTruth commissions 615 0$aTruth commissions 615 0$aTruth commissions 615 0$aTruth commissions. 676 $a323.4/9 700 $aQuinn$b Joanna R$01109655 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779357603321 996 $aThe politics of acknowledgement$93833796 997 $aUNINA
