Truth and Lies: Stories from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa

South African photographer Jillian Edelstein's stark, memorable black-and-white photographs are the centerpiece of Truth & Lies: Stories from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. Between 1996 and 2000, Edelstein photographed dozens of victims, witnesses and perpetrators ANC activists, apartheid police officers and government officials, family members of those tortured and killed at the hearings and at their homes across South Africa. The photos are supplemented with the subjects' harrowing personal testimonies, Edelstein's crisp reportage and excerpts from the diary she kept throughout the project. (Apr. 1)
