Spectres of Reparation in South Africa

Praise for Spectres of Reparation in South Africa: “In this ground-breaking book, which draws seamlessly on both African indigenous cosmology and psychoanalytic theory, Barnard-Naudé helps us understand how spectres of reparation continue to haunt South Africa, many years after the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) formally finished its work. […] This important book deserves to be read in South Africa and beyond, across disciplines, and by scholars and practitioners who are interested in linking transitional justice to more robust theoretical and political agendas.” - Paul Gready, UNESCO Chair, Centre for Applied Human Rights, University of York, author of The Era of Transitional Justice: The Aftermath of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa and Beyond (2011). Praise for Jaco Barnard-Naudé: “A highly original scholar, at ease in the domains of politics and philosophy, law and literature, Jaco Barnard-Naudé has been making his mark for some time by bringing psychoanalysis to the negotiating table of political injustice. His work, rapidly becoming indispensable, has far-reaching ramifications for anyone reflecting on how to advance in the maelstrom that is South Africa today.” – Jacqueline Rose, Professor and Co-Director, Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, University of London, author of On Violence and On Violence Against Women (2021).
