Contents:

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.

Summary: 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.
