Stones Against the Mirror, Hugh Lewin’s already much-acclaimed new book, is organised around his treatment of the devastating events associated with the African Resistance Movement (ARM), of which he was a key member, and set against the backdrop of his involvement from 1996 to 1998 in the Human Rights Violation Committee of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Presenting his personal journey of truth and reconciliation internally achieved together with his trenchant commentary on the TRC, Stones succeeds in nudging us gently into a new, post-TRC moral realm.
