南非转向和解并非开始于真相与和解委员会的成立。本文探讨了和解在南非从种族隔离向宪政民主过渡中的作用。它认为，和解是一种修辞性的历史创造模式，是一套复杂的发明实践，既为演讲开辟了时间，又利用演讲创造了时间。仔细观察，这一和解的中间声音说明了机构和公民可以从历史上为暴力辩护的理由中创造未来对话的可能性的确切途径。
South Africa's turn to reconciliation did not begin with the formation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. This essay examines the role of reconciliation in South Africa's transition from apartheid to constitutional democracy. It contends that reconciliation is a mode of rhetorical history-making, a complex set of inventional practices that both open time for speech and employ speech to make time. Viewed closely, this middle voice of reconciliation illustrates precise ways that institutions and citizens can craft the potential for future dialogue from within historical justifications for violence.
