Description
For over 40 years, Charles Villa-Vicencio has been on the front lines of Africa's battle for racial equality. In Walk with Us and Listen, he argues that reconciliation needs honest talk to promote trust-building and enable former enemies and adversaries to explore joint solutions to the cause of their conflicts. Villa-Vicencio challenges those who stress the obligation to prosecute those allegedly guilty of gross violation of human rights, and calls instead for more complementarity between the International Criminal Court and African mechanisms to achieve the greater goals of justice and peace-building.
