Truth and Reconciliation

On October 23, 24, & 25, John Joseph Moakley Chair of Peace and Reconciliation of the McCormack Graduate School of Policy Studies will sponsor a conference entitled, Truth and Reconciliation Commissions: Do They Do Justice to Justice?. Representatives from Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, and South Africa will share their lessons for Northern Ireland and Serbia. For more information on the conference see the listing of events at the McCormack School and UMass News.

The library currently has a display on the 2nd floor of books about the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions and the countries who are participating in the conference.  A selection of these books is listed to the right of this post and on the Healey Library wikispace. A complete list is available on LibraryThing and a reading list of articles is available here.
