内容简介:
Ever since Nelson Mandela dramatically walked out of prison in
1990 after twenty-seven years behind bars, South Africa has been
undergoing a radical transformation. In one of the most miraculous
events of the century, the oppressive system of apartheid was
dismantled. Repressive laws mandating separation of the races were
thrown out. The country, which had been carved into a crazy quilt
that reserved the most prosperous areas for whites and the most
desolate and backward for blacks, was reunited. The dreaded and
dangerous security force, which for years had systematically
tortured, spied upon, and harassed people of color and their white
supporters, was dismantled. But how could this country--one of
spectacular beauty and promise--come to terms with its ugly past?
How could its people, whom the oppressive white government had
pitted against one another, live side by side as friends and
neighbors?
To begin the healing process, Nelson Mandela created the Truth
and Reconciliation Commission, headed by the renowned cleric
Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Established in 1995, the commission faced
the awesome task of hearing the testimony of the victims of
apartheid as well as the oppressors. Amnesty was granted to those
who offered a full confession of any crimes associated with
apartheid. Since the commission began its work, it has been the
central player in a drama that has riveted the country. In this
book, Antjie Krog, a South African journalist and poet who has
covered the work of the commission, recounts the drama, the
horrors, the wrenching personal stories of the victims and their
families. Through the testimonies of victims of abuse and violence,
from the appearance of Winnie Mandela to former South African
president P. W. Botha's extraordinary courthouse press conference,
this award-winning poet leads us on an amazing journey.
Country of My Skull captures the complexity of the Truth
Commission's work. The narrative is often traumatic, vivid, and
provocative. Krog's powerful prose lures the reader actively and
inventively through a mosaic of insights, impressions, and secret
themes. This compelling tale is Antjie Krog's profound literary
account of the mending of a country that was in colossal need of
change.

媒体评论
One of the best books of the year.
--The Economist
"This is a deeply moving account of the South African Truth and
Reconciliation Commission--South Africa's attempt to come to terms
with her often horrendous past. Antjie Krog writes with the
sensitivity of a poet and the clarity of a journalist. Country of
My Skull is a must-read for all who are fascinated by this unique
attempt to deal with a post-conflict context. It is a beautiful and
powerful book."
-- Archbishop Desmond Tutu
"Trying to understand the new South Africa without the Truth and
Reconciliation Commission would be futile; trying to understand the
commission without this book would be irresponsible."
-- André Brink, author of A Dry White Season
Antjie Krog has rendered the world a great service. This elegant
manifesto for justice will haunt the soul long after the reading is
done."
-- Douglas Brinkley, professor of history and director of the
Eisenhower Center at the University of New Orleans
"Here is the extraordinary reportage of one who, eyes staring
into the filthiest places of atrocity, poet's searing tongue
speaking of them, is not afraid to go too far. Antjie Krog breaks
all the rules of dispassionate recounts, the restraints of 'decent'
prose, because this is where the truth might be reached and
reconciliation with it is posited like a bewildered angel thrust
down into hell."
-- Nadine Gordimer, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature --
