Abstract title:

Reconciliation: the role of truth commissions and alternative ways of healing
(Paper from Symposium)

Author: Noel Muchenga Chicuecue
Issue: Vol. 7, Number 4 1997

This paper discusses the issues of reconciliation, truth commissions, and alternative ways of healing, focusing on what reconciliation means to different people and cultures, how reconciliation works in practice, what role truth commissions play in the process, and what alternative ways of healing have been used, specifically in Mozambique. The author bases his thinking, not on established theories, but on how people become reconciled with each other in practice.
