These books lay bare the grisly events and complex causes of the orchestrated slaughter of Rwanda's Tutsis, which took place over the three-month period beginning April 6, 1994. All broadly concur on the fundamental dynamic of and responsibility for the genocide and the urgent need to bring its perpetrators to justice. Prunier, a French political analyst, has produced the most thorough treatment of the background to the massacres, which left an estimated 800,000 dead and led 30 percent of Rwanda's population to flee to neighboring states. He presents his balanced and painstaking research with clarity and skill, and he shows how the ideological, political, and economic components of Rwanda's human time bomb slowly assembled, and how an elite group of extremists within the Hutu-dominated Rwandan government, who feared that power might slip from their hands, detonated the bomb. A former consultant to the Mitterrand government, Prunier is particularly well informed on the shameful role of the French in helping create the conditions that led to the 1994 explosion.

Plus de 20 ans après le génocide de 1994 au Rwanda, c’est aujourd’hui le processus de reconstruction du pays qui suscite de vifs débats. Pourtant les études approfondies de ce processus sont encore rares. C’est cette lacune que l’ouvrage de Jean-Paul Kimonyo tente de combler. Comment ce pays parmi les plus pauvres au monde, totalement déchiré, a-t-il pu se reconstruire aussi rapidement? Comment la population divisée a-t-elle fini par vivre, travailler ensemble et participer à la reconstruction du pays? Quels liens existent-ils entre le succès à consolider mais inespéré du pays et sa gouvernance sujette, elle, à controverse? De façon succincte mais couvrant une longue période historique et un large spectre de domaines, ce livre tente d’apporter une réponse à ces question et à fournir une explication précise sur les modalités de mise en place de ce processus de reconstruction post-génocide au Rwanda. A cette fin, l’auteur retrace les origines et les évolutions du Front patriotique rwandais (FPR), la force politique dominante au Rwanda. Il relate comment des communautés réfugiées, chassées de chez elles à la veille de l’indépendance, éparpillées dans toute la région des Grands Lacs, en sont arrivées 35 ans plus tard à prendre le pouvoir dans leur pays, dans des conditions calamiteuses. Ce travail montre comment les choix politiques et idéologiques qui menèrent à la formation du FPR à l’extérieur du Rwanda ont fortement orienté la reconstruction du pays. Sa narration couvre toutes les étapes de celle-ci, jusqu’à la période actuelle, plus focalisée sur les activités de développement. L’auteur situe son analyse dans le débat sur les reconstructions post-conflit de cette décennie, dans la région des Grands Lacs, l’Afrique du Nord et le Moyen-Orient, le poussant à prendre ses distances avec les catégories normatives qui avaient été élaborées en ce domaine à la suite de la chute du mur de Berlin.

Offering an up-to-date historical perspective which should enable readers to fathom how the brutal massacres of 800,000 Rwandese came to pass in 1994, this volume includes a new chapter that brings the analysis up to the end of 1996.

A sobering study of the troubled African nation, both pre- and post-genocide, and its uncertain future The brutal civil war between Hutu and Tutsi factions in Rwanda ended in 1994 when the Rwandan Patriotic Front came to power and embarked on an ambitious social, political, and economic project to remake the devastated central-east African nation. Susan Thomson, who witnessed the hostilities firsthand, has written a provocative modern history of the country, its rulers, and its people, covering the years prior to, during, and following the genocidal conflict. Thomson’s hard-hitting analysis explores the key political events that led to the ascendance of the Rwandan Patriotic Front and its leader, President Paul Kagame. This important and controversial study examines the country’s transition from war to reconciliation from the perspective of ordinary Rwandan citizens, Tutsi and Hutu alike, and raises serious questions about the stability of the current peace, the methods and motivations of the ruling regime and its troubling ties to the past, and the likelihood of a genocide-free future.

Winner of the Bethwell A. Ogot Book Prize of the African Studies AssociationBetween 1920 and 1994, the Catholic Church was Rwanda's most dominant social and religious institution. In recent years, the church has been critiqued for its perceived complicity in the ethnic discourse and political corruption that culminated with the 1994 genocide. In analyzing the contested legacy of Catholicism in Rwanda, Rwanda Before the Genocide focuses on a critical decade, from 1952 to 1962, when Hutu and Tutsi identities became politicized, essentialized, and associated with political violence. This study--the first English-language church history on Rwanda in over 30 years--examines the reactions of Catholic leaders such as the Swiss White Father André Perraudin and Aloys Bigirumwami, Rwanda's first indigenous bishop. It evaluates Catholic leaders' controversial responses to ethnic violence during the revolutionary changes of 1959-62 and after Rwanda's ethnic massacres in 1963-64, 1973, and the early 1990s. In seeking to provide deeper insight into the many-threaded roots of the Rwandan genocide, Rwanda Before the Genocide offers constructive lessons for Christian ecclesiology and social ethics in Africa and beyond.

In the 1994 Rwanda genocide, around 1 million people were brutally murdered in just thirteen weeks. This book offers an in-depth study of posttraumatic growth in the testimonies of the men and women who survived, highlighting the ways in which they were able to build a new, and often enhanced, way of life. In so doing, Caroline Williamson Sinalo advocates a new reading of trauma: one that recognises not just the negative, but also the positive responses to traumatic experiences. Through an analysis of testimonies recorded in Kinyarwanda by the Genocide Archive of Rwanda, the book focuses particularly on the relationship between posttraumatic growth and gender and examines it within the wider frames of colonialism and traditional cultural practices. Offering a striking alternative to dominant paradigms on trauma, the book reveals that, notwithstanding the countless tales of horror, pain, and loss in Rwanda, there are also stories of strength, recovery, and growth.

The horrific slaughter in Rwanda has once again driven home the deeply rooted existence and continuing presence of genocidal impulses. In this passionately argued volume-first published to great acclaim in France and considerably updated during the translation process-a deeply involved witness of the massacres takes an unflinching look at recent events in Rwanda and what they can tell us about the nature of genocide.

Mushikiwabo is a Rwandan working as a translator in Washington when she learns that most of her family back home has been killed in a conspiracy meticulously planned by the state. First comes shock, then aftershock, three months of it, during which her worst fears are confirmed: The same state apparatus has duped millions of Rwandans into butchering nearly a million of their neighbors.Years earlier, her brother Lando wrote her a letter she never got until now. Urged on by it, she rummages into their farm childhood, and into family corners alternately dark, loving, and humorous. She searches for stray mementos of the lost, then for their roots. What she finds is that and more---hints, roots, of the 1994 crime that killed her family. Her narrative takes the reader on a journey from the days the world and Rwanda discovered each other back to colonial period when pseudoscientific ideas about race put the nation on a highway bound for the 1994 genocide. Seven years of full-time collaboration by two writers---and the faith of family and friends---went into this emotionally charged work. Rwanda Means the Universe is at once a celebration of the lives of the lost and homage to their past, but it's no comfortable tribute. It's an expression of dogged hope in the face of modern evil.

Rwanda: Rebuilding of a Nation is a story that takes the reader through a sweeping panorama of Rwanda's history, from its recent past as a near-failed state to its present as a beacon of hope and successful innovations. Rwanda's rise from the ashes detailed in this book is the culmination of a visionary and laborious process of rebuilding a nation from the brink of collapse. It is also a story of reconciling a people that had been taught to see each other as enemies. Twenty years ago, the world wrote off Rwanda after the worst genocide in recent times left over one million of its people dead and another three million in refugee camps in neighbouring countries. The country was broken in every way possible - socially, culturally, economically and politically. Today, Rwanda has been rebuilt and has become a respectable country, receiving many international accolades for its extraordinary leadership and achievements. The backbone and custodian of this agenda has been and remains the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF). This was the case right from its inception before and during the liberation struggle to the implementation of this transformation. The book traces the success of the RPF-driven transformation, which derives from the combination of three interrelated factors. First, a people-centred governance that has spearheaded community development, ownership and accountability. Second, home-grown initiatives in different sectors that have helped to adequately respond to extraordinary challenges. And third, a visionary leadership that listens to its people and inspires them towards self-reliance and dignity. Finally, the book shows that Rwanda's achievements have been possible because the RPF's development agenda is built on power-sharing, consensus-building, gender equality and the primacy of security.
