Walk with us and listen : political reconciliation in Africa /
Villa-Vicencio, Charles.
Walk with us and listen : political reconciliation in Africa / Charles Villa-Vicencio ; foreword by Desmond Tutu. - Washington, D.C. : Georgetown University Press, ©2009. - 1 online resource (xiv, 225 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Prologue: Affinities and tensions in debate -- An African journey -- Shared peace -- From encounter to settlement -- National conversation in South Africa -- Ubuntu -- Traditional African reconciliation practices -- Why reconciliation is important -- Seeking consensus.
Effective peace agreements are rarely accomplished by idealists. The process of moving from situations of entrenched oppression, armed conflict, open warfare, and mass atrocities toward peace and reconciliation requires a series of small steps and compromises to open the way for the kind of dialogue and negotiation that make political stability, the beginning of democracy, and the rule of law a possibility. For over forty years, Charles Villa-Vicencio has been on the front lines of Africa's battle for racial equality. In Walk with Us and Listen, he argues that reconciliation needs honest talk.
