Claudia B Braude is an independent scholar. She has brought engagement with race, memory and identity in apartheid and post-apartheid South Africa to bear on a wide range of topics. Unafraid to address complex issues (including race and the media for the South African Human Rights Commission, and Jewish culture and historiography), her writing has not always been uncontroversial. Currently bringing her substantial work on South African processes of history-telling, truth, reconciliation and justice into comparative perspective, she is considering the psycho-social impact of mass historical trauma and political crimes on the development of human rights cultures.
