The new Rwandan regime then crossed into Zaire and attacked the refugees, slaughtering upwards of 400,000 people. The Rwandan forces then turned on Zaire's despotic President Mobutu and, with the help of a number of allied African countries, overthrew him. But as Prunier shows, the collapse of the Mobutu regime and the ascension of the corrupt and erratic Laurent-Désiré Kabila created a power vacuum that drew Rwanda, Uganda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Sudan, and other African nations into an extended and chaotic war. The heart of the book documents how the whole core of the African continent became engulfed in an intractible and bloody conflict after 1998, a devastating war that only wound down following the assassination of Kabila in 2001.

The novel recounts the story of a Rwandan history teacher, Cornelius Uvimana, who was living and working in Djibouti at the time of the massacre. He returns to Rwanda to try to comprehend the death of his family and to write a play about the events that took place there. As the novel unfolds, Cornelius begins to understand that it is only our humanity that will save us, and that as a writer, he must bear witness to the atrocities of the genocide.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41303457333282,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1509\/8658\/files\/81dSG_h_IuL._AC_UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1707501117"},{"product_id":"murder-by-decree","title":"Murder by Decree: The Crime of Genocide in Canada: A Counter Report to the \"Truth and Reconciliation Commission\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnnett, Kevin Daniel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eMurder by Decree\u003c\/em\u003e is an uncensored record of the planned extermination of indigenous children in Canada’s murderous “Indian residential schools”.

The author asks the question: 'What was it about Shnorhig (my mother) and Vartouhi (my grandmother), that enabled them to endure the atrocities of that terrible genocide 80 years ago, the only two of a family of 18 to survive.' Their deep religious convictions and strength of character gave them the faith and hope not to give up. So beyond revealing a very well-documented period of history that few Americans are familiar with, there is an underlying message in this sensitively-written portrait for everyone - that no matter how terrible your life may be, not to give up. Shnorhig and Vartouhi - two ordinary women leading extraordinary lives - turned their horrendous decade of pain into a lifetime of helping fellow human beings to live better lives. This book is their fascinating story - from before the genocide to the present time. Within that time frame is the immigrant experience that almost every American has somewhere in his background as well as the challenge of creating a new and meaningful life in a new world.

Yet a number of key questions about this tragedy remain unanswered: How did the violence spread from community to community and so rapidly engulf the nation? Why did individuals make decisions that led them to take up machetes against their neighbors?

Current interpretations stress three main causes for the genocide: ethnic identity, ideology, and mass-media indoctrination (in particular the influence of hate radio). Straus's research does not deny the importance of ethnicity, but he finds that it operated more as a background condition. Instead, Straus emphasizes fear and intra-ethnic intimidation as the primary drivers of the violence. A defensive civil war and the assassination of a president created a feeling of acute insecurity. Rwanda's unusually effective state was also central, as was the country's geography and population density, which limited the number of exit options for both victims and perpetrators.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn conclusion, Straus steps back from the particulars of the Rwandan genocide to offer a new, dynamic model for understanding other instances of genocide in recent history―the Holocaust, Armenia, Cambodia, the Balkans―and assessing the future likelihood of such events.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker \u0026 Taylor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41303465132066,"sku":"","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/1509\/8658\/files\/61algOiOsqL._SL1024.jpg?v=1707934694"},{"product_id":"the-rwanda-poems","title":"The Rwanda Poems: Voices and Visions from the Genocide","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaufman, Andrew\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe only book of poetry to date devoted to the Rwanda genocide and published in this country, this is a work of nonfictional poetry, a cousin in genre to the nonfictional novel.

As a poetry of witness this book reveals what it is like to carry on with daily life in a society where nearly every adult male is either a genocide survivor or perpetrator, almost every woman either a survivor or the wife of a perpetrator, and where nearly every child at the time of the genocide witnessed multiple killings, often of immediate family members. Ranging from free verse to stanzaic forms, this book by an NEA-award-winning poet uses tools and methods of poetry to distil each of its many varied voices to its essence, allowing those who are heard in these poems to speak for themselves, often in juxtapositions that lend the book the structure and tension of a drama.
