Yargı 2018 ÖABT De Ayrı Türkçe Öğretmenliği Konu Anlatımı TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Yargı Yayınevi

I've had this book for a while on my bookshelf, and finally, thanks to a book club, I took the opportunity to finally read it. It's been a process, but I'm very much blown away. Antjie Krog takes me to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in South Africa and shares intimate details of testimonies and reactions of South African's horrid stories of what they face under apartheid. Krog writes this book in 1998, just when the TRC is ending, so everything is fresh and in her moment, does not know the impact that the TRC will take in future years. It is a non-fiction book, but Krog has done a remarkable job of making it so easy to digest, as she makes us go between the testimonies and her routines as one of the journalists who followed the TRC. She gives her personal response to these stories and how others reacted as well. She is Afrikaner, so she is dealing with her own process of how to grasp the crimes her own race has committed, as well as what does this mean as South African is now entering its own post-apartheid stage. It's an amazing book, in which you will not want to stop reading. Yes, there are some very tough testimonies to get through, so tough that you will numb yourself for not wanting to take in the horrendous truth. Krog balances it well though, so that we're not bombarded with testimony after testimony. In fact we learn more about the Commission itself, led by Desmond Tutu (who is an unbelievably beautiful person, who I'm SO HAPPY that I had a chance to hear him talk when he came to San Francisco years ago) and the process to getting the Commission together, so that it has representatives of all groups in South Africa (there are 11 official languages). It was done so effectively that to a reader like me, I couldn't stop reading it until the very last page. TRC in South Africa was unique because the hearings were public and politicians got involved in submissions of testimonies. It gets very interesting when politicians from African National Congress (ANC) Party start submitting testimonies and Winnie Madikisela-Mandela is brought to TRC, as she's accused for being responsible for multiple killings of black youth under apartheid. - The book is incredible and truly a high recommendation!
