Since the Genocide against the Tutsi, when up to one million Rwandan people were brutally killed, Rwanda has undergone a remarkable period of reconstruction. Driven by a governmental programme of unity and reconciliation, the last 25 years have seen significant changes at national, community, and individual levels. This book gathers previously unpublished testimonies from individuals who lived through the genocide. These are the voices of those who experienced one of the most horrific events of the 20th Century. Yet, their stories do not simply paint a picture of lives left destroyed and damaged; they also demonstrate healing relationships, personal growth, forgiveness and reconciliation. Through the lens of positive psychology, the book presents a range of perspectives on what happened in Rwanda in 1994, and shows how people have been changed by their experience of genocide.

Recensioner i media

After the Genocide in Rwanda is a carefully edited collection of numerous short testimonies which foregrounds Rwandans voices and stories ... Even though the speakers circumstances shape the testimonies, they strikingly embody hope. This hope for a better future is a powerful message, which asks readers to reconsider their assumptions about post-genocide Rwanda. * Wasafiri *
