"The reconciliatory project [in South Africa] seems to have completely fallen away from the national agenda, and many of the TRC's [Truth and Reconciliation Commission's] recommendations remain unimplemented and unrealised. Has reconciliation been successful? Do South Africans feel reconciled? What is the way forward? This book brings together leading social scientists and researchers to critically interrogate the success of the reconciliatory project, using ten years of public opinion data collected by the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation (IJR) through the South African Reconciliation Barometer survey."--Back cover
