Country of My Skull

South Africa's painful journey towards healing and truth.

"Country of My Skull" is not merely a historical account; it's a deep dive into the heartache and healing of a nation.

If you're drawn to works that explore the human capacity for forgiveness and the complexities of justice, this book will resonate with you deeply.

Description

The first free elections in South Africa's history were held in 1994. Within a year, legislation was drafted to establish the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to document the gross human rights violations committed between 1960 and 1993. It was to seek the truth, make it known to the public, and help prevent such brutality from recurring. From 1996 onward, over the following two years, South Africans were exposed almost daily to revelations about their traumatic past. Antjie Krog's full account of the Commission's work, using the testimonies of the oppressed and the oppressors alike, is a harrowing and haunting book in which the voices of ordinary people shape the course of history. Winner of South Africa's Sunday Times Alan Paton Award.
