The book Dealing with the past. Perspectives from Latin America, South Africa and Germany was co-authored by the academic director of the CAPAZ Institute, Dr. Stefan Peters, Tatjana Louis and Mokgadi Molope.

Over the past decades, the question of how societies deal with the past has received increasing attention from political actors, civil society and academia. However, the treatment of the past remains a highly controversial issue that provokes contentious debates. This book contributes to a cross-regional analysis of how societies in Latin America, South Africa and Germany deal with a past that contains massive human rights violations.
