Abstract

Cet ouvrage espère très humblement fournir des pistes de réflexion sur un sujet des plus graves qui soit. Il entend revisiter avec les lecteurs les racines d’un mal hérité d’un courant de pensée colonial et qui a donné lieu aux pires atrocités. Les auteurs explorent, d’une part, diverses avenues afin de saisir les enjeux juridiques, sociaux et politiques qui ont permis que des êtres humains veuillent exterminer leurs semblables ; d’autre part, ils se penchent aussi et surtout sur les indispensables préalables qui permettront aux survivants de refaire confiance au monde. La reconnaissance des torts est sans doute la pierre angulaire qui rend envisageable la reconstruction de soi et l’ultérieure réconciliation avec le monde extérieur. Les auteurs s’intéressent ainsi à l’articulation de paroles en souffrance (celles des survivants), recueillies dans des entrevues, dans des tribunaux gacaca, dans des forums sur Internet ou encore dans des récits de témoignage.

Abstract

Why the international community should have intervened in Rwanda. Kassner contends that the violation of the basic human rights of the Rwandan Tutsis morally obliged the international community to intervene militarily to stop the genocide. This compelling argument, grounded in basic rights, runs counter to the accepted view on the moral nature of humanitarian intervention. It has profound implications for our understanding of the moral nature of humanitarian military intervention, global justice and the role moral principles should play in the practical deliberations of states.

Abstract

In 1994, the Akazu, Rwandan's political elite, planned the genocidal mass slaughter of 500,000 to 1,000,000 Tutsi and Hutu who lived in the country. Given the failure of the international community to acknowledge the genocide, in 1998, ten African authors visited Rwanda in a writing initiative that was an attempt to make partial amends. Abdourahman A. Waberi claims, "Language remains inadequate in accounting for the world and all its turpitudes, words can never be more than unstable crutches, staggering along . . . And yet, if we want to hold on to a glimmer of hope in the world, the only miraculous weapons we have at our disposal are these same clumsy supports." Shaped by the author's own experiences in Rwanda and by the stories shared by survivors, Harvest of Skulls stands twenty years after the genocide as an indisputable resource for discussions on testimony and witnessing, the complex relationship between victims and perpetrators, the power of the moral imagination, and how survivors can rebuild a society haunted by the ghost of its history.--

Abstract

"The shocking characteristics of Rwanda's genocide in 1994 have etched themselves indelibly on the global conscience. The Path to Genocide in Rwanda combines extensive, original field data with some of the best existing evidence to evaluate the myriad theories behind the genocide and to offer a rigorous and comprehensive explanation of how and why it occurred, and why so many Rwandans participated in it. Drawing on interviews with over three hundred Rwandans, Omar Shahabudin McDoom systematically compares those who participated in the violence against those who did not. He contrasts communities that experienced violence early with communities where violence began late, as well as communities where violence was limited with communities where it was massive. His findings offer new perspectives on some of the most troubling questions concerning the genocide, while also providing a broader engagement with key theoretical debates in the study of genocides and ethnic conflict"--
