Overcoming Historical Injustices: Land Reconciliation in South Africa

James L. Gibson (Washington University, St. Louis). Overcoming Historical Injustices: Land Reconciliation in South Africa (Cambridge University Press, 2009).

Overcoming Historical Injustices is the last entry in James L. Gibson's 'overcoming' trilogy on South Africa's transformation from apartheid to democracy. Focusing on the issue of historical land dispossessions - the taking of African land under colonialism and apartheid - this book investigates the judgments South Africans make about the fairness of their country's past.”
