Abstract

Jacques Roisin s'est rendu à plusieurs reprises au Rwanda, afin de recueillir les témoignages de vingt Hutus qui ont sauvé des Tutsis lors du génocide de 1994. Dans la nuit la plus noire se cache l'humanité commence avec les témoignages de six de ces sauveteurs : Zura, l'ensorceleuse crainte des Rwandais, qui a caché des Tutsis dans sa maison et effrayé les miliciens venus pour tuer. Gisimba, harcelé pendant trois mois par les génocidaires dans son orphelinat afin qu'il livre "ses" enfants. Rachid, l'imam qui a dirigé la lutte armée des musulmans et des Tutsis de sa colline de Mabare contre les attaques répétées des Hutus fanatiques. Silas, le militaire Hutu qui, de nuit, a emmené par trois fois des groupes de Tutsis vers le Burundi. Edison, l'ex-génocidaire des années 70 qui a caché des familles de Tutsis et organisé un réseau de résistance. Ezéchiel, le commerçant aisé qui a dépensé sa fortune pour corrompre les génocidaires et épargner ainsi les Tutsis de sa colline. Dans la seconde partie, l'auteur commente la conduite de vingt sauveteurs hutus. Il présente le contexte historique de la fanatisation et de la haine anti-Tutsis et les différentes formes d'opposition au génocide rencontrées au Rwanda. Puis il aborde une réflexion approfondie sur la question de la sollicitude humaine, autrement dit : comment le bien et le mal, comment l'humanité viennent-ils à l'être humain ?

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

Based on thorough ethnographic fieldwork in a refugee camp in Tanzania this book provides a rich account of the benevolent “disciplining mechanisms” of humanitarian agencies, led by the UNHCR, and of the situated, dynamic, indeterminate, and fluid nature of identity (re)construction in the camp. While the refugees are expected to behave as innocent, helpless victims, the question of victimhood among Burundian Hutu is increasingly challenged, following the 1993 massacres in Burundi and the Rwandan genocide. The book explores how different groups within the camp apply different strategies to cope with these issues and how the question of innocence and victimhood is itself imbued with ambiguity, as young men struggle to recuperate their masculinity and their political subjectivity.

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"--
